Persian Kashan

£3,450£3,950In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent, room-size Persian Kashan — hand-knotted in the celebrated weaving city of Kashan, world-renowned for carpets of flawless proportion, rich enduring colour, and masterful design. Woven with finest hand-spun wool over a sturdy cotton foundation, yielding a dense, velvety pile that glows with depth — a genuine heirloom built to last generations. A commanding central medallion in luminous turquoise and sky-blue anchors a vast, vibrant 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 411 × 290 cm, this is an exceptionally generous 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. Woven with immense skill and patience, this masterpiece took approximately 10 to 12 months of meticulous hand-knotting by master artisans to complete.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 220 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 4,064,387 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 5 months.

How that is worked out: 162 in × 114 in × 220 knots per sq. in. ≈ 4,064,387 — that is 411 × 290 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.
