Shiraz Persian Rug 297 × 156 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 297 × 156 cm. That is roughly 4.63 m² of floor, about 9.7' × 5.1'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 8 mm. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. 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.

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.

Age

Stated condition: new.
