About This Kashan
Where it comes from
This is a Kashan, the Persian city-workshop rug drawn to a cartoon rather than knotted from memory, 220 x 136 cm (7'3" x 4'6"). Kashan has been one of Iran's principal weaving cities for generations, known for balanced medallion layouts and lyrical floral drawing, usually set against a deep crimson ground. Here that ground is turned to a rich, saturated navy.
What you see
The first impression is of that navy field carrying a bold medallion in terracotta red, its core a small cartouche of cream and salmon rosettes. Dense floral vine scrollwork fills the ground around it, touched with sage green and mustard, while matching red spandrels anchor the four corners. The wide main border repeats the terracotta ground in the same floral vine, framed by a narrow light-blue guard stripe and a thin cream inner line, so the dark field is held by colour at its edge.
How it was made
This piece is hand-knotted in wool and silk on a cotton warp, at a density of 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre. Silk spins far finer than wool, so weaving it in lets the knotter tie more knots into the same space — which is what gives the medallion's cartouche its crisp, unblurred edge. The pile stands only 12 mm high, clipped close and even, keeping the drawing sharp. It is signed, from the Sherkat Farsh workshop, and is twenty to forty years old.
At home
In a bedroom or a small study, this rug settles into the room, its detail rewarding a closer look. Against pale floorboards the navy grounds the space; against darker furniture it holds its own. The short, dense pile is firm underfoot and wears well with daily use. Morning light catches the terracotta and cream, and the medallion seems to lift as the day turns.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 220 × 136 cm (2.99 m²) this is a medium rug. It works in front of a sofa, in front of a bed or in a study. It is too small for a dining table — there you want about 80 cm of clearance so a chair does not tip over the edge when pushed back.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 441,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre; across 2.99 m² that is roughly 1.3 to 1.5 million individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.
How do I care for this rug?
This pile contains silk and is more delicate than pure wool. Vacuum without a rotating brush and along the pile, do not beat it, and keep it out of permanent direct sun. Blot spills at once with a light cloth, never rub. For a proper clean a silk-blend rug belongs in expert hands — we handle that for pieces bought from us.
