Kashan Persian Rug 270 × 350 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 270 × 350 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 9.45 m² (8.9' × 11.5').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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

Age

Stated condition: new.
