The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 163 × 250 cm. It covers approximately 4.08 m², or 5.3' × 8.2'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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

The stated colourway is multicolour. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
