About This Rafsanjan
Where it comes from
A Rafsanjan rug, 222 x 140 cm (7'3" x 4'7"), from the wider Kerman weaving region of south-east Iran, an area long valued for elegant floral drawing and a balanced, decorative presence suited to formal rooms. This piece is signed by the Sherkat Farsh workshop, and it carries the Kerman idiom in a form built almost entirely on movement.
What you see
The field is a deep navy, covered edge to edge with fine scrolling floral vine work in cream and camel, in the Mahi tradition. Rather than settling into a static grid, the vine is drawn in wide, sweeping curves, so the eye travels across the field instead of resting on any single point. Around this, a wide brick-red border filled with small floral repeats closes the design, held in place by narrower cream and steel-blue guard stripes, the whole frame making up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
Handspun wool, knotted onto a cotton foundation at a density of 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre, is what keeps those curling vine lines crisp rather than letting them blur into the dark ground, which the sweeping drawing depends on. At 12 mm the pile sits low and even, so the pattern reads clearly rather than sinking into depth, and the wool carries a light natural sheen that lifts the navy field under changing light. Work at this density is a matter of months at the loom, knot by knot, to hold every curve of the vine consistent across the whole field.
At home
This is a rug for a seating area in a living room, sized to sit under a sofa group rather than beneath a large table. Against pale flooring the navy field holds its own without darkening the room, and the terracotta border keeps the eye moving even where the furniture around it is plain. Underfoot the pile is dense and even, firm enough for daily use rather than a piece kept out of the way, and the low, even wool wears well under years of footsteps. As daylight moves across the room, the light sheen in the wool catches along the sweeping curves of the vine, so the pattern seems to shift very slightly through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 222 × 140 cm (3.11 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 501,000 to 640,000 knots per square metre; across 3.11 m² that is roughly 1.6 to 2.0 million 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.
