Shiraz Persian Rug 223 × 315 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 223 × 315 cm. It covers approximately 7.02 m², or 7.3' × 10.3'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

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