Qashqai Persian Rug 173 × 254 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 173 × 254 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 4.39 m², or 5.7' × 8.3'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

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