Qashqai Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 280 × 177 cm

About this rug

This Qashqai comes from Iran and measures 280 × 177 cm. That is roughly 4.96 m² of floor, about 9.2' × 5.8'.

Construction

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
