8' x 11'2" Persian Kashan Rug | Navy Field | Ivory Star Medallion | Allover Floral | Hand-Knotted Wool

This 8 by 11 foot Persian Kashan brings the classic city style into a deep, room-anchoring palette. A radiant ivory and sky-blue star medallion floats at the center of a midnight navy field, framed by a dense allover floral spray and a richly drawn navy border. It is a generous, formal piece that feels at home under a dining table or grounding a full living room seating group.

Design and Motifs

At the heart of the rug sits a layered eight-point star medallion, built up from a cream center, a ring of stylized blossoms, and pale blue cusped points, with matching pendants reaching toward each end. Around it, the field is filled edge to edge with the Shah Abbas vocabulary that defines Kashan weaving: large palmettes, rosettes, curling leaves, and slender vine scrolls that link every flower into a continuous, balanced garden. The wide main border carries a procession of palmettes and serrated leaves, fenced by sky-blue floral guard stripes that keep the busy field neatly contained.

Colors and Placement

The navy ground gives this Kashan its calm, grounded presence, while ivory, gold, soft green, and touches of terracotta red light up the florals so the pattern stays lively rather than dark. The sky-blue medallion core draws the eye straight to the center, a useful trait in a large open room. A navy field hides everyday dust and footprints well, making this a practical choice for dining rooms, busy living rooms, and high-traffic family spaces, and the cooler blue tones pair easily with both warm wood furniture and crisp modern neutrals.

Origin and Construction

Kashan, in central Persia, is one of the oldest and most respected names in Persian weaving, known for formal medallion layouts and durable, finely drawn wool pile. This piece is hand-knotted in 100% wool on a cotton foundation at roughly 160 to 180 knots per square inch, a density that balances crisp pattern detail with the heft and longevity that make a Kashan a lifelong floor rug. The condition is good overall, with only minor low pile in a few small areas that are difficult to see at normal viewing distance.
