Persian Kashan Runner

£1,075£1,575In stock, ready to ship

A truly magnificent Persian Kashan Runner — a masterpiece of traditional weaving from the renowned city of Kashan in Iran, celebrated worldwide for producing some of the finest rugs ever made. Hand-knotted over seven to nine months from premium soft wool on a sturdy cotton base, this runner offers a luxuriously smooth, dense feel underfoot — exceptionally plush yet built to last for generations, growing only richer and more beautiful with time. Glowing in a deep, vibrant crimson red, the field unfurls with an unbroken trail of exquisite flowers, scrolling vines and elegant palmettes — rendered in crisp ivory, rich sapphire, warm gold and soft teal with breathtaking precision. The design flows seamlessly from end to end, anchored by gracefully balanced medallions that give the piece both grandeur and harmony. Broad, intricately patterned borders frame the composition in layers of navy, gold and cream — each band a masterpiece of fine detail, perfectly symmetrical and deeply characteristic of authentic Kashan craftsmanship. Measuring an impressive 410 cm by 102 cm, this is a truly exceptional size — ideal for grand hallways, long corridors, open-plan kitchens or dining spaces, and along generous staircases. It brings an air of timeless luxury and warmth to longer spaces, transforming them into striking, welcoming focal points. A genuine Persian Kashan — rare in this generous length, beautifully preserved, and ready to become a cherished heirloom in your home.

Count the knots yourself

This piece is woven at approx. 160 knots per square inch, which works out at approx. 1,037,138 knots in total — every one tied by hand, over approx. 7 months.

How that is worked out: 161 in × 40 in × 160 knots per sq. in. ≈ 1,037,138 — that is 410 × 102 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.
