Shiraz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 155 × 245 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 155 × 245 cm. That is roughly 3.8 m² of floor, about 5.1' × 8'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as red and orange. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
