Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 330 × 450 cm, Wool

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 330 × 450 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 14.85 m² (10.8' × 14.8').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Where it fits

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

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.

How it reads

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.
