Kilim Persian Rug 338 × 179 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

A Kilim from Iran, measuring 338 × 179 cm. The covered area is about 6.05 m² (11.1' × 5.9').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

How it is made

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

Colour and appearance

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

Period

Stated condition: new.
