The piece in short

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 252 × 357 cm. That is roughly 9 m² of floor, about 8.3' × 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.

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 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

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