Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 140 × 200 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 140 × 200 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 2.8 m², or 4.6' × 6.6'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

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

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