About This Yazd
Where it comes from
This is a Yazd, also written Yezd, a city-workshop rug from the desert trade city in central Iran, measuring 296 x 196 cm (9'9" x 6'5"). Its weavers worked to a long tradition of fine, disciplined medallion and arabesque design, and this piece follows the classic formula of a medallion set into a dense floral field.
What you see
The first impression is a deep navy field, closely covered in fine floral scrollwork that reads almost as one continuous pattern. At the centre sits a large scalloped medallion in ivory, its outer band worked in rust and ochre. Inside that, the innermost rosette is a pale blue-grey found nowhere else in the rug, a cool note set against the warmth around it. A broad terracotta border, patterned with cream scrollwork, closes the composition and takes up close to a fifth of the rug's width.
How it was made
The rug is hand-knotted in the asymmetric Persian knot on a cotton warp, at a density of 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre — a fine, workshop-grade count that keeps the scrollwork's outlines crisp rather than blurred. The pile is hand-spun wool, kept low at 12 millimetres, so the drawing stays close to the surface, and the slight irregularity of hand-spun yarn gives a soft, uneven sheen across the medallion's warm and cool tones.
At home
This size suits a living or dining room, under a table or beside a sofa. The navy field warms a pale floor and holds its own against dark wood, while the terracotta border lifts it. The pile is tight and low, dense enough for daily use. As daylight crosses it, the medallion's pale blue-grey centre catches the eye, a cool point of calm inside the warmth.
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 296 × 196 cm (5.80 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 201,000 to 250,000 knots per square metre; across 5.80 m² that is roughly 1.2 to 1.5 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.
