Kilim Pakistani Rug 151 × 199 cm, Wool, hand-woven

Overview

A Kilim from Pakistan, measuring 151 × 199 cm. The covered area is about 3 m² (5' × 6.5').

What it is made of

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Weave

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

Colour and appearance

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.
