Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 247 × 359 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 247 × 359 cm. That is roughly 8.87 m² of floor, about 8.1' × 11.8'.

What it is made of

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. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
