Kashmar Persian Rug 295 × 390 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Kashmar comes from Iran and measures 295 × 390 cm. That is roughly 11.51 m² of floor, about 9.7' × 12.8'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Format and use

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. Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

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.
