Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 211 × 301 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-woven in Pakistan: a Kilim of 211 × 301 cm. That is roughly 6.35 m² of floor, about 6.9' × 9.9'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.
