About This Kashkouli
Where it comes from
This is a Qashqai tribal runner from south-west Iran, woven by the Kashkuli clan — long regarded as the finest hand in Qashqai weaving — and measuring 205 x 83 cm (6'9" x 2'9"). Kashkuli work is usually prized for refined, curvilinear medallions in jewel-toned colour, tribal design raised close to workshop elegance. This piece takes that same fine hand and turns it to something far quieter.
What you see
The field is a warm, rust-orange ground, plain but for three evenly spaced rectangular panels set along its length. Each panel gathers its own darker vertical bands, in brick-red and muted rust-brown, and each is crossed once by a narrow speckled stripe of navy — the only cool note in an otherwise warm composition. There is no medallion, no traditional motif, just this abstract sequence of colour blocks against the plain rust ground, framed by a wide, self-toned border in the same rust-orange, without a contrasting line.
How it was made
A Kashkuli weaver hand-knots from memory rather than following a drawn plan, and the clan's name carries a reputation for knotting unusually fine for tribal work — here 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre, enough to hold these rectangular panels sharp-edged rather than let them soften into the blur a coarser tribal knot would give. The wool is hand-spun for the pile and natural wool through the warp, carried to a 12 mm pile that keeps the surface matte and slightly uneven, worked entirely by hand rather than sheared flat by machine.
At home
As a runner, this piece suits a hallway, a landing, or the floor beside a bed, and its rust-orange holds its warmth even where daylight is scarce. Underfoot it is soft rather than thin, dense enough for a well-used passage without complaint. What stays with you is the navy stripe inside each panel, catching whatever light there is and giving this quietly confident piece its one moment of contrast.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 205 × 83 cm (1.70 m²) this is a runner. It belongs in a hallway, an entrance, on a landing or lengthways beside a bed. It is too narrow for the middle of a room.
Is this rug hand-knotted?
Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 1.70 m² that is roughly 220,000 to 270,000 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.
