Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 106 × 202 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 106 × 202 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.14 m² (3.5' × 6.6').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely 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.

Weave

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

How it reads

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.
