Hand-Knotted Kashan Persian Rug, 247 × 362 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Kashan from Iran, measuring 247 × 362 cm. The covered area is about 8.94 m² (8.1' × 11.9').

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as 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.
