Hand-Woven Kilim Persian Rug, 142 × 98 cm, Silk

Overview

This Kilim comes from Iran and measures 142 × 98 cm. That is roughly 1.39 m² of floor, about 4.7' × 3.2'.

What it is made of

Construction: silk in the weft over a silk foundation. The rug was hand-woven throughout. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Where it fits

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

Flatweave

As a flatweave this piece has no pile: front and back carry the same pattern, and it lies very flat.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
