Shiraz Persian Rug 186 × 260 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 186 × 260 cm. That is roughly 4.84 m² of floor, about 6.1' × 8.5'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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