About This Yazd
Where it comes from
This is a Yazd, also written Yezd, a city-workshop medallion carpet from one of Iran's oldest towns, measuring 274 x 199 cm (9'0" x 6'6"). Yazd sits deep in the central Iranian desert, a UNESCO World Heritage town of mudbrick towers and windcatchers, and its weavers are known for disciplined, closely drawn work rather than for anything rustic or loose.
What you see
The field is a warm ivory, calm enough to let the drawing do the work. Across it runs a dense floral scroll, gathering at the centre into a lobed medallion with matching pendants above and below. Fine navy vinework outlines the medallion, staying clear and legible even where it narrows to a point. Deep red rosettes and touches of slate blue and camel carry through the scrollwork, and the whole field is held by a wide camel-tan border, its navy and red floral bands noticeably deeper in tone than the ground they frame.
How it was made
Every knot here is tied by hand, the asymmetric Persian knot worked onto a cotton foundation, with hand-spun wool making up the pile. At 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre, the weaver had enough knots in a given space to turn a corner or narrow a line without the outline breaking up, which is why the medallion holds its shape down to its finest points. A pile clipped to 12 millimetres keeps the surface even and the motif edges crisp rather than blurred.
At home
A rug this size sits comfortably under a seating group in a living room, or at the head of a dining table, its ivory ground lifting a darker floor and holding its own against dark wood furniture. Underfoot the wool is dense and firm, a weave built for daily use rather than for display. As daylight moves across the room, the slight sheen in the wool catches along the navy vinework, and the medallion seems to sharpen rather than fade.
Kashan rugs originate from the city of Kashan in Isfahan Province, central Iran, one of the oldest Persian weaving centres with roots in the Safavid era. Knotted with the asymmetrical (Persian) knot on a cotton foundation, they are celebrated for their poised medallion layouts, lyrical florals, and rich, warm colour palette dominated by deep reds, blues, and ivory.
The neatly clipped, velvety pile gives Kashan rugs a crisp, finished appearance. Shah Abbas palmettes, flowing arabesques, and intricate floral borders are executed with precision. From classic workshop pieces to collectible Mohtasham styles, Kashan remains a symbol of Persian elegance.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 274 × 199 cm (5.45 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 161,000 to 200,000 knots per square metre; across 5.45 m² that is roughly 0.9 to 1.1 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.
