Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 105 × 189 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Kilim comes from Pakistan and measures 105 × 189 cm. That is roughly 1.98 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 6.2'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

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

How it is made

As a flatweave this piece has no pile: front and back carry the same pattern, and it lies very flat.

Colour and appearance

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.
