Qashqai Persian Rug 271 × 178 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 271 × 178 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 4.82 m², or 8.9' × 5.8'.

What it is made of

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Format and use

Knot density and quality

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.

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.
