Overview

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Qashqai of 130 × 190 cm. The covered area is about 2.47 m² (4.3' × 6.2').

Construction

Stated material: new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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.
