The piece in short
This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 197 × 127 cm. The covered area is about 2.5 m² (6.5' × 4.2').
Construction
Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as approx. 12 kg.
Size and placement
The rug is rectangular. This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.
Knot density and quality
The stated knot density is 600,000–699,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.
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
Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
