Near-black, cream and teal make a wonderful stepped diamond medallion. Burgundy covers the field, which is crowded with charming scrolling vines, palmettes and flower heads in gold, cream and teal. The medallion is a stepped diamond, a near-black ring around a cream core with teal, with small pendants above and below. Gorgeous cream spandrels with teal touches fill all four corners, edged in near-black. The main border has a near-black ground carrying a scroll of pink, red and cream flowers, with cream and light blue guard stripes on either side. The pile is even across the red field, with a few white specks in the near-black ground. The dense drawing holds the deep red and the bright accents together in one rich surface. At 9'5" by 13'3", 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. 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 keeps that saturated red, with the medallion, cream corners and vine field all in place inside 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.
