Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 244 × 340 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 244 × 340 cm. The covered area is about 8.3 m² (8' × 11.2').

Construction

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

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.

How it reads

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