Kashan Persian Rug 247 × 364 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 247 × 364 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. That is roughly 8.99 m² of floor, about 8.1' × 11.9'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

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.

On the colourway

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