This lovely rug glows magenta, with a dark aubergine medallion at its heart. At the center, a lobed diamond medallion in aubergine sits on a magenta field filled with graceful curling vines and flower heads. Its core is a smaller magenta medallion, and lobed pendants sit above and below it. Aubergine spandrels at the four corners hold scrolling vines picked out in magenta. The main border has a dark aubergine ground carrying a handsome row of magenta palmettes and lobed cartouches outlined in black cherry. Narrow magenta guard stripes with a small vine run on either side of it. The pile is low across the rug, and the foundation shows in pale flecks. It suits a dining room of dark wood, where the magenta glows against the deep aubergine. At 9'5" by 12'2", 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
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, with a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. This rug keeps that whole plan: an aubergine medallion with pendants, dark spandrels at the four corners, and curling vine across the magenta field. Its color is held to two notes, magenta and aubergine, so every part of the design reads as a shade of one warm violet. The border repeats them, a dark ground with bright palmettes closing the field on all four sides.

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.
