Persian Kashan

£3,950£4,450In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent, large-format Persian Kashan — hand-knotted in the renowned weaving city of Kashan, famed for carpets of extraordinary refinement, timeless design, and lasting beauty. Woven with finest hand-spun wool over a sturdy cotton foundation, yielding an exceptionally dense, velvety pile that glows with rich depth — a true investment piece destined to grace your home for generations. A spectacular symmetrical medallion in ivory, turquoise, and sky-blue radiates from the heart of a vivid madder-red field, alive with intricate scrolling vines, palmettes, and blossoming flowers — each motif rendered with masterful precision. The broad, multi-layered border perfectly frames the composition, repeating the floral theme in deep navy, cream, and gold, creating a feeling of grandeur, balance, and enduring elegance. At 414 × 313 cm, this is an exceptionally spacious carpet — ideal for a grand living room, formal dining hall, library, or generous master suite. Its commanding presence and classic colour palette bring instant warmth and distinction to any interior, traditional or contemporary. Woven with immense skill and patience, this masterpiece took approximately 11 to 13 months of meticulous hand-knotting by master artisans to complete.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 230 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 4,249,132 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 12 months.

How that is worked out: 162 in × 114 in × 230 knots per sq. in. ≈ 4,249,132 — 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.
