A deep blue field with lobed edges opens up the middle of this lovely rug. At the center, a camel medallion with a pale blue core and small pendants sits on a denim field. Beyond the lobed edge, the outer field is pale blue, worked with a fine scatter of small blossoms. Four handsome round medallions in camel and peach pink fill the corners. The main border sets navy and pale blue flower sprays between camel bars on a peach pink ground. Narrow camel guard stripes edge it on both sides. Pile runs low in spots across the blue, and the foundation shows as pale specks. It holds a large room together in blue and camel, with the peach pink border warming the edges. At 9'6" by 13'7", it fits a dining table for six with the chairs pulled out, or a full living room seating group.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. Hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, vintage, approx. 50 years (1970s). Condition: professionally washed & cleaned. It ships folded and fully insured.
About Kashan rugs
In the 1600s, when Poland and Persia had close relations, the Polish nobility ordered many gold-threaded rugs from Kashan. When rugs of that kind were first shown at the Paris exposition of 1878, they were taken for Polish work. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. These were made as the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This rug keeps the medallion and the corner pieces, set around an open blue field. The fine drawing of the corners and the border stands against the plain blue at the center.

Returns & exchangesMade entirely by hand.
Every knot in this rug was tied by hand, one at a time, on an upright loom. A piece like this is the work of two or three weavers sitting side by side for months, wool worked row by row into a pattern carried from memory, its colors softened by decades of light and use. Nothing about it was quick, and no two are ever the same.
The kind of thing that only gets better with age, and quietly passes from one home to the next.
