Antique Kashan Persian Rug, 343 × 230 cm, Wool

The piece in short

This Kashan comes from Iran and measures 343 × 230 cm. The covered area is about 7.89 m² (11.3' × 7.5').

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 22 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A large format for open-plan rooms or formal reception spaces.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Condition

Stated age: antique. In a rug of this age, patina and some pile loss belong to the picture.
