Kashan Persian Rug 243 × 365 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 243 × 365 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 8.87 m², or 8' × 12'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
