Kilim Persian Rug 281 × 398 cm, Wool, hand-woven

About this rug

A Kilim from Iran, measuring 281 × 398 cm. That is roughly 11.18 m² of floor, about 9.2' × 13.1'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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

Weave

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

On the colourway

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