Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 137 × 195 cm, Wool

Overview

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 137 × 195 cm. That is roughly 2.67 m² of floor, about 4.5' × 6.4'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

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

Colour and appearance

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.
