The Kashgai are a nomadic tribe from the Fars province of southern Iran. Their carpets are not designed on paper. The patterns are held in memory and knotted directly onto a portable loom, which is why no two Kashgai pieces are ever the same. This one is antique, made before the shift toward commercial weaving that changed the character of most tribal production.
The red geometric field with a dark border is one of the most enduring colour combinations in interior design. It holds its own in rooms with aged timber, stone and leather, and works equally well in contemporary spaces where a single piece of authentic texture is all that is needed. Pure wool on a wool base is the most durable carpet construction there is. The pile will soften and the colours deepen over years of use.
In your home: Works under a coffee table, in an entrance hall or as a layering piece over a larger plain rug. The scale suits a study or reading room well. Pairs with dark timber floors, leather seating and brass or copper accents.
