Kilim Pakistani Rug — hand-woven, 153 × 195 cm, Wool

Overview

A Kilim from Pakistan, measuring 153 × 195 cm. That is roughly 2.98 m² of floor, about 5' × 6.4'.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

How it is made

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

Colour and appearance

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.
