Shiraz Persian Rug 173 × 255 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 173 × 255 cm — a Shiraz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.41 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8.4'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
