Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 155 × 198 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 155 × 198 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.07 m² of floor, about 5.1' × 6.5'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

How it is made

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

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.
