Qashqai Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 287 × 175 cm, Wool

Overview

This Qashqai comes from Iran and measures 287 × 175 cm. That is roughly 5.02 m² of floor, about 9.4' × 5.7'.

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. 16 kg.

Format and use

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

Colour and appearance
