Kilim Persian Rug — hand-woven, 260 × 304 cm, Wool

Overview

Hand-woven in Iran: a Kilim of 260 × 304 cm. That is roughly 7.9 m² of floor, about 8.5' × 10'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

The rug is square. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

How it is made

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

On the colourway

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.
