Qashqai Persian Rug 182 × 118 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Qashqai from Iran, measuring 182 × 118 cm. That is roughly 2.15 m² of floor, about 6' × 3.9'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 6 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

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

Age

Stated condition: new.
