Shiraz Persian Rug 191 × 290 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 191 × 290 cm. That is roughly 5.54 m² of floor, about 6.3' × 9.5'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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.

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.
