Kilim Pakistani Rug 131 × 171 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 131 × 171 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.24 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 5.6'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Size and placement

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Weave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
