Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 131 × 173 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Kilim comes from Pakistan and measures 131 × 173 cm. It covers approximately 2.27 m², or 4.3' × 5.7'.

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.

How it is made

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

How it reads

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
