About This Kashkouli
Where it comes from
The rug in front of you is a Kashkuli, the finest branch of Qashqai tribal weaving, made in the Fars region of southern Iran and knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. It measures 203 x 151 cm (6'8" x 4'11"), a size suited to a seating area or a bedroom floor. Kashkuli weavers are known for medallions of unusual delicacy and confident, curvilinear colour — which makes this particular piece a departure worth noticing.
What you see
The field is an almost plain warm cream, faintly touched with peach, laid out in soft tonal bands that shift only in texture, not in colour. Down the centre runs a single narrow stripe, and it is here that all the decoration of the rug is gathered: a row of small squares in brick red, ochre, mustard and burgundy, set close together like the rungs of a ladder or a line of buttons. The wide border repeats the same cream tone, marked off only by a change in weave, no contrast of colour at all. Nothing else asks for attention.
How it was made
That restraint was a choice, not a limitation. At 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre, this is dense knotting for a tribal loom, fine enough to hold a stripe of small, sharply separated squares straight and true down the full length of the rug without them blurring into one another. The wool is hand-spun, carried on a natural wool warp, and worked to a 12 mm pile — enough depth for a matt, quiet surface that never competes with its own single ornament. A weaver capable of a full Kashkuli medallion chose, in this piece, to knot almost nothing at all, and made that nothing exact.
At home
In a living room this rug settles rather than announces itself, warming a pale floor and holding its own quietly against dark wood or dark upholstery, the ladder of colour becoming the one thing the eye returns to. Underfoot the pile is dense and even, firm rather than deep, and made for daily use rather than display. Set it where the daylight crosses the floor in the afternoon, and watch the small squares catch the light one at a time, the plainest Kashkuli in the room turning out to be the one you keep looking at.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 203 × 151 cm (3.07 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 3.07 m² that is roughly 620,000 to 770,000 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.
