Shiraz Persian Rug 180 × 280 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 180 × 280 cm. That is roughly 5.04 m² of floor, about 5.9' × 9.2'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
