Wool Shiraz Persian Rug 173 × 253 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Shiraz comes from Iran and measures 173 × 253 cm. That is roughly 4.38 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8.3'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Construction

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

Where it fits

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

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under 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.
