Shiraz Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 218 × 302 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 218 × 302 cm — a Shiraz made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.58 m² of floor, about 7.2' × 9.9'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

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

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
