Shiraz Persian Rug 181 × 270 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 181 × 270 cm. That is roughly 4.89 m² of floor, about 5.9' × 8.9'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

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

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

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.
