This lovely rug has a small pale blue diamond medallion on a cream field. At the center, a small pale blue diamond medallion holds a tan core on a cream field. Dainty scrolling vines and palmettes in gold, near-black and pale blue fill the open ground around it. The main border shares the cream ground, edged by a scalloped gold vine and set with gold and near-black palmettes. A slim near-black line runs along the outer edge. A light antique wash has eased the colors and left the drawing clear. A few white specks mark low spots across the field. Gold, sage and pale blue notes stay muted throughout the design. At 5'2" by 8'4", it fits a bedroom beside the bed, a study under a desk, or a small sitting area.
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. Kashan is the central Persian city most associated with the formal Persian rug, with a central medallion and a field of curling vine and palmette. These rugs were made as the best rug in a house, and the drawing carries that intent. This piece keeps the central diamond and the field of curling vines. Its palette rests on cream and gold, with small touches of blue and red in 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.
