Kashan Persian Rug 251 × 346 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 251 × 346 cm. That is roughly 8.68 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 11.4'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. 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.

Fineness of the knotting

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.
