Qashqai Persian Rug 302 × 179 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 302 × 179 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 5.41 m² (9.9' × 5.9').

Materials and construction

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. 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.
