About This Kashkouli
Where it comes from
This is a Qashqai rug of the Kashkuli group, from the nomadic tribes of south-western Iran, measuring 190 x 148 cm (6'2" x 4'10"). The Kashkuli name stands among Qashqai weavings for unusually fine knotting and a design confidence that usually shows itself in restrained, slightly curvilinear medallion work. Here that confidence takes a different form: there is no medallion at all, only colour, handled with the same assurance.
What you see
The first impression is of a sunset held in wool. Broad horizontal bands run from a deep burgundy-brown at each end, through red, into a bright rust-orange centre, the colours shading into one another rather than repeating as a pattern would. Thin coral-pink pinstripes mark the transitions between bands. Set evenly into the two dark end sections are small ivory diamonds, outlined rather than filled, the only ornament the rug allows itself. There is no border in the ordinary sense; the darkest bands simply frame the field by being darkest.
How it was made
A piece like this is knotted entirely from memory on a portable loom, one weaver working without a drawn plan, which is why the gradient reads as judged by eye rather than measured out. The pile is hand-spun wool on a cotton warp, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — fine work for a tribal weaving, and enough to keep the small ivory diamonds crisp against the darker ground. Hand-spun yarn takes dye a little unevenly along its length, and it is this, rather than any deliberate shading technique, that gives the colour its soft, drifting movement from wine to rust.
At home
At this size the rug suits a bedroom, a study, or a quiet seating corner rather than a full dining table. Its rust and burgundy will warm a pale floor and hold their own against dark furniture, glowing rather than shouting for attention. Underfoot the wool sits dense and springy at 12 mm, sturdy enough for a room in daily use. As daylight crosses it through the day, the gradient itself seems to move, the wine ends deepening while the centre catches the light.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 190 × 148 cm (2.81 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 2.81 m² that is roughly 570,000 to 700,000 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.
