Hand-Knotted Shiraz Persian Rug, 178 × 250 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Shiraz from Iran, measuring 178 × 250 cm. It covers approximately 4.45 m², or 5.8' × 8.2'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is 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.
