A pale blue medallion ringed in navy sits at the heart of this lovely rug. Curling vines, palmettes and blue flower sprays cover the clay field, with cream blossoms scattered between them. The lobed medallion holds a camel rosette at its core, with a small pendant above and below it. Handsome navy and pale blue spandrels fill the four corners, set with clay palmettes and cream blossoms. The main border is navy, carrying a beautiful scroll of vines that loops around palmettes and rosettes in clay and cream. Pale blue guard stripes with small rosettes run on either side of it. The pile is low, and the drawing stays clear from the center out to the edges. It suits a warm, quiet room, with the clay field giving glow and the navy border a dark frame. At 10'8" by 14', 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 has all three parts of that plan, with its lobed medallion, its navy and pale blue spandrels and a clay field of curling vine and palmette. Clay sits against navy and pale blue throughout, with cream and camel picking out the flowers.

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.
