Hand-Knotted Qashqai Persian Rug, 277 × 159 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 277 × 159 cm — a Qashqai made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.4 m² (9.1' × 5.2').

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of wool. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

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

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

Condition

Stated condition: Neu.
