Kilim Pakistani Rug 158 × 201 cm, Wool, hand-woven

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 158 × 201 cm — a Kilim made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.18 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 6.6'.

Construction

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Flatweave

Woven pieces of this kind are thin, reversible, and much lighter than knotted rugs.

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.
