Persian Kashan

£3,250£4,250In stock, ready to ship

A refined Persian Kashan carpet, hand-knotted in the historic weaving city of Kashan, celebrated for its balanced design, rich colour, and enduring craftsmanship. Woven from finest hand-spun wool over a robust cotton foundation, this piece boasts a dense, velvety pile with a soft, luxurious feel underfoot — a genuine heirloom quality carpet built to last generations. The composition features an elegant central medallion in ivory, soft pink, and sky blue, set against a spacious coral-red field. The open field allows the medallion to take centre stage, while scrolling vines, palmettes, and delicate floral motifs add richness without overwhelming the design. The wide, multi-layered border frames the carpet with traditional Kashan floral patterns, creating a sense of symmetry, grace, and timeless elegance. At 347 × 241 cm, this is a versatile room-size carpet, ideal for a generous living room, dining area, bedroom, or formal seating space. Its warm red palette brings instant warmth and character to traditional interiors, while its refined design makes it equally effective as a statement piece in contemporary settings. This exceptional carpet took approximately 9 to 11 months of painstaking hand-knotting by skilled artisans to complete.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 210 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 2,722,064 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 10 months.

How that is worked out: 137 in × 95 in × 210 knots per sq. in. ≈ 2,722,064 — that is 347 × 241 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.
