Pointed pendants reach above and below the lobed diamond medallion of this charming rug. Worked on a burgundy field, pretty scrolling vines and small blossoms in pink, cream, pale blue and tan fill the ground. A lobed diamond medallion rests at the middle, ringed in near-black, with a cream core that holds a pale blue star and a red center. Pointed pendants reach above and below it. Cream and pale blue corner pieces sit inside near-black lobes at the four corners. Around it all, a near-black main border carries a scroll of vines and palmettes in red, pink and pale blue. Rose and tan guard stripes with tiny red and blue flowers run along both edges. Small pale specks of low pile are scattered through the field and the border. The dense drawing holds the red and the near-black in balance across the face. At 6'5" by 10'6", it fits a living room with the front legs of the sofa and chairs on the rug, or beside a queen bed.
Every rug we sell is one of a kind, and this is the only one like it. It is hand-knotted wool pile on a cotton foundation, professionally washed and cleaned before it reaches you, and shipped folded and fully insured. Age-related wear and the small inconsistencies of a handmade weave are part of what these rugs are.
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. The formal Persian rug is most closely tied to the central Persian city of Kashan: a central medallion, spandrels in the corners, and a field of curling vine and palmette. Saturated madder reds are what old Kashans are known for. This rug has that layout, with the medallion, the corner pieces and the vine all in place. Its field is a strong red, set against a 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.
