Hand-Knotted Qashqai Persian Rug, 245 × 153 cm

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 245 × 153 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.75 m² of floor, about 8' × 5'.

Construction

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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 Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age and condition

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