Shiraz Persian Rug 166 × 268 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 166 × 268 cm. The covered area is about 4.45 m² (5.4' × 8.8'). 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.

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

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.
