Kashan Persian Rug 249 × 349 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 249 × 349 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 8.69 m², or 8.2' × 11.5'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
