Persian Kashan

£3,450£4,250In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent Persian Kashan — hand-knotted in the legendary weaving city of Kashan, celebrated worldwide for its perfect proportions, rich enduring colours, and masterful design. Woven with finest hand-spun wool over a robust cotton foundation, yielding a dense, velvety pile that glows with depth — a genuine heirloom built to last generations. A striking central medallion in soft turquoise and sky-blue anchors a vast luminous madder-red field, alive with scrolling vines, palmettes, and blossoming flowers — each motif rendered with extraordinary precision in ivory, deep navy, and soft sage. The wide multi-tiered border frames the piece with symmetrical floral bands, creating a feeling of grandeur, balance, and timeless elegance. At 392 × 291 cm, this is an exceptionally generous room-size carpet — perfectly proportioned for a large living room, formal dining space, library, or grand entrance hall. The classic Kashan palette brings instant warmth and distinction to traditional interiors, while its refined craftsmanship makes it a breathtaking focal point in contemporary settings too. This masterpiece took approximately 9 to 11 months of painstaking hand-knotting by skilled artisans to complete — a true labour of love.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 210 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,713,051 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 11 months.

How that is worked out: 154 in × 115 in × 210 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,713,051 — that is 392 × 291 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.
