9016 · 9' x 13' Persian Kashan Oversized Rug

A tan border of larger boteh runs around the cream field of this charming rug. The field looks cream at first glance, then warms to tan when you stand near it. Rows of boteh, the paisley leaf-drop, cover it in slate blue-green and dark brown with small touches of rust. There is no central medallion; the motif repeats evenly over the whole ground. Around the field runs a handsome tan border carrying a row of larger boteh in the same slate blue-green and brown, with small blue flowers between them. Narrow guard stripes in brown, green and cream, with a fine scrolling vine, edge the border on each side. The pile is low in patches, and white specks show where the surface has worn thin. A steady repeat of the leaf-drop covers the cream ground. At 9' by 13', 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.
