Antique Kashan Persian Rug, 195 × 122 cm, Wool

Overview

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 195 × 122 cm. That is roughly 2.38 m² of floor, about 6.4' × 4'.

Materials and construction

Construction: Handgesponnene Wolle in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as approx. 8 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
