Fine Persian Kashan

£1,850£2,250In stock, ready to ship

A fine Persian Kashan hand-knotted carpet — a magnificent example of this revered city weave, woven in the historic Kashan region of Iran. Crafted from premium hand-spun wool on a sturdy cotton foundation — rich, lustrous, and built to last for generations. Deep crimson red field centred on an elegant ivory-and-blue medallion, surrounded by an abundance of finely drawn floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques in perfect symmetry. The wide midnight navy border carries repeating floral motifs in ivory, gold, and blue — timeless, refined, and beautifully balanced. At 330 cm × 203 cm, this is a superb generous size — ideal as the centrepiece for a substantial living room, formal dining space, or grand hallway. Authentic, finely woven, and undeniably luxurious — a true heirloom piece.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 200 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 2,076,694 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 12 months.

How that is worked out: 130 in × 80 in × 200 knots per sq. in. ≈ 2,076,694 — that is 330 × 203 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.
