Kashan Persian Rug 425 × 95 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 425 × 95 cm. The covered area is about 4.04 m² (13.9' × 3.1').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 12 kg.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under 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 and condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
