Kilim Persian Rug 268 × 359 cm, Wool, hand-woven

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 268 × 359 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 9.62 m² (8.8' × 11.8').

Construction

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

Format and use

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

Flatweave

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

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
