The dark medallion at the center of this lovely rug catches the eye first. Cream carries the whole field, crowded with small rose and terracotta flowers on graceful curling vines. The near-black medallion has lobed edges and a rose core, with a pendant above and below. A terracotta frame set with rosettes follows the field in a stepped outline, inside a second cream ground. Near-black spandrels hold flowering sprays in the four corners. Past a terracotta band of linked scrolls, the handsome main border carries rose and terracotta blossoms on near-black. Olive guard stripes run on either side of it. The pile is low, and a few small patches near the border have worn to the foundation. It slips into a warm room, the cream center lifting the dark frame around it. At 7'1" by 10'6", it fits a dining table for four with the chairs pulled out, or a living room with the sofa and chairs fully on it.
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
The story goes that the three Wise Men of the East set out from Kashan to follow the Star of Bethlehem. 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 that plan, with its lobed medallion, its dark corner spandrels and a cream field full of curling vine and small flowers. Its field sits inside a stepped terracotta frame, and a second band of cream runs between that frame and the near-black border.

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.
