Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 290 × 197 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 290 × 197 cm. That is roughly 5.71 m² of floor, about 9.5' × 6.5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.

Period

Stated condition: new.
