Qashqai Persian Rug 185 × 258 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Qashqai comes from Iran and measures 185 × 258 cm. It covers approximately 4.77 m², or 6.1' × 8.5'.

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. Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

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.
