Kilim Persian Rug — hand-woven, 195 × 299 cm, Wool

At a glance

A Kilim from Iran, measuring 195 × 299 cm. That is roughly 5.83 m² of floor, about 6.4' × 9.8'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Weave

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

How it reads

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.
