Kashan Persian Rug 249 × 348 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 249 × 348 cm. That is roughly 8.67 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 11.4'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

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

On the colourway

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