Antique Kashan Persian Rug 315 × 415 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Kashan of 315 × 415 cm. The covered area is about 13.07 m² (10.3' × 13.6').

What it is made of

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

Format and use

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 400,000–499,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.

Age and condition

Stated condition: ca. 100 Jahre.
