Qashqai Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 146 × 89 cm

The piece in short

A Qashqai from Iran, measuring 146 × 89 cm. That is roughly 1.3 m² of floor, about 4.8' × 2.9'.

Construction

Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 4 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

On the knot count

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

How it reads

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.

Period

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
