Kashan Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 401 × 310 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 401 × 310 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 12.43 m² of floor, about 13.2' × 10.2'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Format and use

A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

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.
