Shiraz Persian Rug 221 × 308 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Shiraz of 221 × 308 cm. That is roughly 6.81 m² of floor, about 7.3' × 10.1'. Shiraz rugs come from a nomadic weaving tradition.

Materials and construction

Construction: 100% new wool in the pile over a 100% cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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.

Colour and appearance

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.
