Kashan Persian Rug 95 × 64 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 95 × 64 cm. That is roughly 0.61 m² of floor, about 3.1' × 2.1'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 2 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

On the knot count

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

How it reads

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.

Period

Stated condition: new.
