Handmade Persian Rug

This exceptional fine-quality Persian Kashan rug takes its name from Kashan, one of Iran’s most historic rug-weaving cities. Located in central Iran about 240 km south of Tehran, Kashan has been celebrated for centuries for producing some of the finest handmade Persian rugs, renowned for their intricate designs, superior craftsmanship, and lasting beauty.

Hand-knotted using pure fine wool pile with a durable cotton weft, this rug offers both luxury and durability. Its unique and elegant design evokes a sense of history and nature, reflecting the timeless artistry of traditional Persian weaving.

Despite being approximately 60 years old, the rug remains in excellent condition, retaining the beauty and vibrancy of a much newer piece.

Craftsmanship & Knot Density

• Knot Density: 196 knots per square inch (KPSI)
• Total Knots: 911,008 hand-tied knots

A skilled weaver typically ties around 600 knots per hour for a rug of this complexity. Based on this rate, the weaving alone required over 1,500 hours of meticulous handwork. This estimate does not include the additional time required for preparing the loom, dyeing the wool, designing the pattern, and colouring the artwork, highlighting the extraordinary craftsmanship involved.
