Persian Kashan

£475£575In stock, ready to ship

A truly elegant Fine Persian Kashan carpet — a magnificent example of the timeless weaving tradition for which Kashan, in central Iran, is world-renowned. Hand-knotted by master artisans over many months, this rug is crafted from the finest quality wool — yielding a pile that is wonderfully soft, dense, and luxuriously plush underfoot, built to endure and to grow more beautiful with every passing year. A luminous, creamy ivory field provides the perfect backdrop for a gracefully proportioned central medallion, its form radiating symmetry and calm. Delicate blossoms, curling vines, and stylised foliage unfurl across the surface in a refined palette of soft sky blue, deep navy, warm terracotta, and gentle gold — every motif rendered with exquisite precision and artistry. The design is balanced and harmonious, never cluttered, always serene — the hallmark of a true Kashan classic. Broad, richly detailed borders frame the central field in complementary tones, carrying continuous bands of floral ornamentation that guide the eye and lend the piece a sense of wholeness and timeless grace. Kashan rugs have long been cherished as among the finest of all Persian carpets — admired for their perfect proportion, their restrained elegance, and their ability to bring light and calm to any space. This piece embodies those virtues completely: it feels simultaneously grand and gentle, rich yet understated, and brings an immediate sense of refined warmth to a room. Ideally sized to serve as a stunning focal point in a hallway, study, dining room, or bedroom — it complements both traditional and contemporary interiors with effortless grace. More than simply a floor covering, this is a genuine heirloom — a handwoven treasure carrying forward centuries of Persian craft and culture. Woven with care, built to last generations, and presented in immaculate untouched condition — a rare and beautiful piece to be admired and treasured for years to come.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 200 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 428,793 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 6 months.

How that is worked out: 60 in × 36 in × 200 knots per sq. in. ≈ 428,793 — that is 152 × 91 cm converted to inches, because knot density is counted per square inch.

Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.

The same test works in the shop, on any rug, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
