Shiraz Persian Rug 183 × 268 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 183 × 268 cm. The covered area is about 4.9 m² (6' × 8.8'). 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

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

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.
