Shiraz Persian Rug 177 × 268 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 177 × 268 cm. The covered area is about 4.74 m² (5.8' × 8.8'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. 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.

On the colourway

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