A cream medallion with a blue core sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Across a muted pink field, graceful curling vines carry blue palmettes, cream blossoms and small flower heads. The medallion itself is a lobed gray brown shape around a cream center, with a four-lobed blue core. Small gray brown pendants sit above and below it. Gray brown spandrels fill the four corners, each closed by a cream tip set with blue flowers. The handsome main border has a camel ground, where cream vine scrolls frame gray brown cartouches holding blue flower heads. Inside it, a blue band with a cream meander runs between narrow cream guard stripes. The pile is low across the rug, and a few patches have worn lower in the outer border. It brings warm pink and clear blue to a room, with cream and gray brown keeping them calm. At 8'6" by 11'6", 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
Nothing is known of Kashan carpets from the 1600s through the 1800s; then, at the dawn of the 20th century, a large commercial production arose there. UNESCO lists the carpet weaving of Kashan as living heritage, noting that almost one in three residents works in carpet making and that most of the makers are women. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug follows that plan closely: a single medallion at the center, spandrels in all four corners, and vines and palmettes spread across the pink field. Its colors stay light, with blue and cream carrying the design over muted pink, gray brown and camel. The blue band inside the border repeats the blue of the medallion core.

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.
