Shiraz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 180 × 250 cm, Wool

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 180 × 250 cm — a Shiraz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.5 m² of floor, about 5.9' × 8.2'. 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.

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