About This Kashkouli
Where it comes from
A Kashkuli rug from the Qashqai people of southern Iran, 143 x 108 cm (4'8" x 3'6"). Kashkuli weaving is generally reckoned the finest the Qashqai produce, prized for a knot count well beyond typical tribal work and for medallion patterns drawn with an almost workshop-level composure. This particular piece takes that same fine hand and points it somewhere else entirely: there is no medallion here, no traditional motif at all, only colour, laid down in bands.
What you see
The rug reads, from across a room, as a stack of wide horizontal stripes: deep brick red and strong orange alternating, broken by bands of dark navy close to black, with a thin darker red pinstripe running along each band edge. There is no separate border. The outermost stripes, both red, simply close the composition top and bottom at the same width as everything inside them. Look closer and the stripes are not ruled straight; each edge wanders slightly, and the surface within every band shows the faint unevenness of yarn that was spun rather than machined.
How it was made
That unevenness comes from the wool itself, hand-spun before it ever reached the loom, so the thickness of the yarn shifts slightly from one length to the next and each band picks up a soft, hand-drawn edge rather than a printed one. The knot density, 201,000 to 250,000 per square metre, is high for a piece made this way, from memory and without a drawn plan, and it is what keeps those wide stripes crisp rather than blurred despite the wandering line. A cotton warp holds the structure steady underneath, while a 12 mm wool pile gives the surface real depth to the hand.
At home
At 143 x 108 cm this is a rug for a smaller space that still wants presence: beside a bed, in front of an armchair, in a study, or lifting a hallway that gets little daylight. The red and orange hold their warmth even against pale floors or dark furniture, and the navy stops the whole thing tipping into brightness. Underfoot it is soft and springy rather than flat, dense enough for a room that sees daily use. As light crosses it through the day, the stripes shift between red and orange in a way no printed rug ever quite manages.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 143 × 108 cm (1.54 m²) this is a small rug. It works beside a bed, in a reading corner, in front of a fireplace or as a mat by a door. It does not furnish a room; it makes a point in one.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 1.54 m² that is roughly 310,000 to 390,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
