Persian Kashan

£2,895£3,295In stock, ready to ship

A magnificent fine all-wool Persian Kashan — hand-knotted in the historic city of Kashan, one of Persia's most revered weaving centres. This is the definitive classic Persian carpet — elegant, timeless, and built to last for generations. Woven entirely from premium hand-spun wool chosen for its deep colour, natural soft lustre, and exceptional durability — with a sturdy cotton foundation. Approximately 180–200 knots per square inch produces crisp, intricate floral detail throughout. A glorious crimson field centres on a radiant turquoise-and-ivory medallion, from which flowing floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques extend in perfect balance. The wide deep navy border frames the field in classic Kashan style — layered with ivory, cream, and gold bands carrying repeating floral motifs. At 390 cm × 261 cm, this impressive room-size carpet is ideal as the centrepiece of a substantial living room, formal dining space, or grand entrance hall. Rich, warm, and endlessly elegant — equally at home in traditional or contemporary interiors. Hand-knotted over many months by master artisans — a genuine heirloom carrying the heritage of Persian weaving.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 200 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 3,155,496 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 0 months.

How that is worked out: 154 in × 103 in × 200 knots per sq. in. ≈ 3,155,496 — that is 390 × 261 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.
