Overview

This Kerman comes from Iran and measures 415 × 298 cm. It covers approximately 12.37 m², or 13.6' × 9.8'. Kerman is associated with soft colour transitions and floral compositions.

Construction

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 30 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

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

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age and condition

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