Wool Kashan Persian Rug 322 × 430 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 322 × 430 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 13.85 m², or 10.6' × 14.1'.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

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

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