Shiraz Persian Rug 172 × 262 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 172 × 262 cm. The covered area is about 4.51 m² (5.6' × 8.6'). Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

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