Shiraz Persian Rug 173 × 248 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 173 × 248 cm. That is roughly 4.29 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8.1'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

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.
