Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 246 × 355 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 246 × 355 cm. It covers approximately 8.73 m², or 8.1' × 11.6'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. 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. Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
