About This Kashkouli
Where it comes from
This is a Kashkuli rug, also written Kashkouli, woven by the Qashqai people of southern Iran and knotted from memory rather than from a drawn plan. It measures 205 x 152 cm (6'9" x 5'0"). Named after one of the most respected Qashqai clans, Kashkuli weaving is known as the finest expression of Qashqai tribal work, prized for knotting far tighter than tribal rugs usually carry.
What you see
The field opens in warm ivory before resolving into structure: a grid of twenty-four small compartments, each set with its own solid ground — rust, navy, ochre-gold, black — arranged in a patchwork rhythm rather than the all-over repeat tribal rugs usually favour. Within each square sits a botteh, a stylised paisley form, so the eye reads twenty-four small gardens rather than one continuous pattern. A wide rust-red border then gathers the field, carrying stepped geometric medallions in navy, cream and black.
How it was made
That structure asks more of the weaver than a single repeating field would: each of the twenty-four squares had to be placed, coloured and centred freehand, without a cartoon to follow. The knotting runs to 128,000-160,000 knots per square metre, unusually fine for a tribal loom, and that density is what lets each small square hold a complete motif rather than a blur of colour. The pile is hand-spun wool over a cotton warp, worked at 12 mm, giving a soft, even matte nap.
At home
A rug this size suits a bedroom or a quiet seating corner. Its ivory ground lifts a room with little daylight, and the rust, navy and gold panels hold their own against dark wood or upholstery. Underfoot the hand-spun wool is dense and soft, settled for daily use. What stays with you is the sun catching each compartment a little differently through the day.

Questions about this rug
Which room is this rug for?
At 205 × 152 cm (3.12 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 128,000 to 160,000 knots per square metre; across 3.12 m² that is roughly 400,000 to 500,000 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.
