Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 250 × 357 cm, Wool

Overview

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 250 × 357 cm. It covers approximately 8.93 m², or 8.2' × 11.7'.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

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

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.

On the colourway

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