Hand-Knotted Shiraz Persian Rug, 167 × 270 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 167 × 270 cm. The covered area is about 4.51 m² (5.5' × 8.9'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

How it reads

The stated colourway is 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.
