Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 249 × 357 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 249 × 357 cm. That is roughly 8.89 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 11.7'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
