This Kashmar comes from Iran and measures 203 × 119 cm. That is roughly 2.42 m² of floor, about 6.7' × 3.9'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as approx. 10 kg.

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

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
