Kashan Persian Rug 366 × 250 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin Iran, format 366 × 250 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 9.15 m² (12' × 8.2').

Materials and construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. 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: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
