About This Kashan
Where it comes from
This is a Kashan, a city-workshop rug from the historic weaving centre of Kashan in central Iran, 299 x 206 cm (9'10" x 6'9"). Kashan is celebrated above all for balanced medallion layouts and lyrical florals set on a deep crimson ground, drawn precisely from a workshop cartoon. This piece takes a different path: there is no medallion here at all, and the field is instead built from a grid of separate panels.
What you see
The ground is a warm ivory, and across it runs a tight arrangement of octagons, rounded lozenges and rectangles, each holding its own small floral or rosette. The panels alternate through terracotta, navy, dark green, powder blue and cream in a steady, almost checkerboard rhythm, so the eye moves from one small composition to the next rather than settling on a single motif. A wide border, taking up roughly a fifth of the width, closes the design with a continuous chain of floral cartouches in navy, cream and terracotta, and it holds its own clearly against the pale field it frames.
How it was made
Hand-knotted with handspun wool over a cotton warp, at 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, this is a solid, respectable Kashan density rather than an exceptional one, and that matters here more than usual. A garden-compartment design like this asks more of the weaver than a repeated motif would, since every one of those dozens of panels has to be drawn and knotted as its own small floral, not copied wholesale from its neighbour. The short, twelve-millimetre pile is sheared close and even, which keeps every compartment outline crisp, so the grid reads as sharply as it was drawn rather than softening into a blur.
At home
A rug of this size sits comfortably under a dining table or in front of a living room sofa group, and the ivory ground will lift a room with darker furniture rather than disappear against it, while the terracotta and navy panels give it enough weight to hold its own too. Underfoot the short, dense pile feels firm and even, suited to a room that gets daily use rather than one kept for best. As the light moves through the day it catches the panels differently, and there is always another small floral in the grid worth noticing.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 299 × 206 cm (6.16 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 6.16 m² that is roughly 790,000 to 990,000 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.
