Shiraz Persian Rug 173 × 262 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 173 × 262 cm — a Shiraz made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.53 m² (5.7' × 8.6'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. 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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
