Kashan Persian Rug 253 × 357 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 253 × 357 cm. It covers approximately 9.03 m², or 8.3' × 11.7'.

Construction

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

Where it fits

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

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

The stated colourway is 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.
