Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 102 × 155 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 102 × 155 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.58 m² of floor, about 3.3' × 5.1'.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

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

Weave

Woven pieces of this kind are thin, reversible, and much lighter than knotted rugs.

How it reads

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
