About this rug

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 134 × 74 cm. It covers approximately 0.99 m², or 4.4' × 2.4'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 12 mm. Weight is given as ap. 4 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Knot density and quality

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

How it reads

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

Age and condition
