The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 248 × 352 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 8.73 m², or 8.1' × 11.5'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
