Kashan Persian Rug 430 × 637 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 430 × 637 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 27.39 m² of floor, about 14.1' × 20.9'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Format and use

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 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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