Kilim Pakistani Rug 135 × 181 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

A Kilim from Pakistan, measuring 135 × 181 cm. The covered area is about 2.44 m² (4.4' × 5.9').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

How it is made

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

On the colourway

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
