A midnight-blue field carries this hand-knotted rug in the classical Kashan manner — a lobed madder-red medallion floating at the centre, haloed by scrolling vines, shah-abbasi palmettes and finely drawn blossoms in rose, saffron, sage green and ivory. Red floral spandrels anchor the four corners, and a small inscription cartouche signs one end, the mark of a formal workshop design rather than a tribal one. Where the geometric rugs of this collection are bold, this one is all curve and grace.
It is hand-knotted in Afghanistan by master weavers working from the classical Persian repertoire, with a fine, even knot count, a low clipped pile and flat-woven kilim ends. The wool is hand-spun and coloured with natural dyes, which give the indigo and madder their depth and the gentle, light-catching variation that machine-made rugs can never reproduce. A broad madder-red border of turtle palmettes and flowering vine, framed by ivory guard stripes, gathers the whole piece together.
Densely woven and built to last for generations, this is a collector-grade piece — equally at home as the centrepiece of a formal living or dining room or as an heirloom investment. As a hand-made rug, it is genuinely one of a kind.

Care instructions
- Vacuum regularly on low suction without a rotating brush.
- Rotate the rug occasionally so it wears and fades evenly.
- Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside in, and do not rub.
- Keep out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
- Use a professional rug cleaner for any deep clean.
- Light shedding is normal with new wool and settles within the first few months.
This rug follows the classical Kashan medallion, one of the most refined designs in the Persian repertoire, drawn not by a tribal weaver but in the manner of a formal workshop. A lobed madder-red medallion floats on a midnight-blue ground, encircled by scrolling arabesques, shah-abbasi palmettes and finely articulated blossoms in rose, saffron, sage and ivory, with red floral spandrels closing the corners and a small inscription cartouche at one end. Knotted entirely by hand in Afghanistan from hand-spun wool and natural dyes, the curving vines are drawn freehand and the colours shift softly across the field — the fingerprint of a single weaver at the loom rather than a machine.
