Kilim Persian Rug — hand-woven, 226 × 323 cm, Wool

About this rug

Hand-woven in Iran: a Kilim of 226 × 323 cm. That is roughly 7.3 m² of floor, about 7.4' × 10.6'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

How it is made

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

Colour and appearance

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