Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 130 × 179 cm, Wool

Overview

This Kilim comes from Pakistan and measures 130 × 179 cm. That is roughly 2.33 m² of floor, about 4.3' × 5.9'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Weave

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.
