Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 128 × 207 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 128 × 207 cm. The covered area is about 2.65 m² (4.2' × 6.8').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

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.

Period

Stated condition: approx. 70 years old.
