Shiraz Persian Rug 216 × 313 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 216 × 313 cm. That is roughly 6.76 m² of floor, about 7.1' × 10.3'. 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.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
