Kashan Persian Rug 65 × 113 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 65 × 113 cm — a Kashan made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.73 m² (2.1' × 3.7').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated condition: new.
