Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 250 × 393 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Pakistan, format 250 × 393 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 9.83 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 12.9'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. Construction method: hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

The rug is square. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Flatweave

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

On the colourway

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.
