Shiraz Persian Rug 181 × 294 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 181 × 294 cm. That is roughly 5.32 m² of floor, about 5.9' × 9.6'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Where it fits

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
