Persian Kashan

£3,495£4,150In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent Persian Kashan hand-knotted in Kashan, central Iran — one of the most revered weaving centres in the world, celebrated for its precision, rich colouring, and timeless formal elegance. Woven with finest quality wool over a robust cotton foundation, yielding a dense, silky pile that feels exceptionally smooth and luxurious underfoot — built to last generations. A spectacular pale sky-blue central medallion radiates outward across a luminous madder-red field alive with scrolling vines, palmettes, and delicate flower heads — all rendered in pristine ivory, deep navy, and soft sage. The multi-tiered border is a masterpiece of balanced design, framing the rug with successive bands of floral and geometric motifs that build depth and grandeur. At 406 × 295 cm, this is an imposing, generously proportioned room-size piece — perfectly suited to a substantial living room, formal dining space, or grand hallway. The classic Kashan palette brings warmth and stateliness to traditional interiors, while the refined craftsmanship makes it a striking contrast in modern settings — a true investment-grade Persian carpet.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 200 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,712,877 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 10 months.

How that is worked out: 160 in × 116 in × 200 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,712,877 — that is 406 × 295 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.
