Kashan Persian Rug 408 × 280 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 408 × 280 cm. That is roughly 11.42 m² of floor, about 13.4' × 9.2'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 40 kg.

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 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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.

Age

Stated condition: new.
