This large hand-knotted Chinese rug follows the classic Kashan design with an all-over pattern of repeating floral medallions, vines, and palmettes spread across a deep red background. A central medallion is surrounded by scrolling flowers and leaves, while the wide navy borders feature intricate corner spandrels and multiple guard borders for added depth. The overall layout creates a sense of movement and balance in this oversized piece.
Kashan-style rugs originated in Iran but have been beautifully recreated in China with slightly softer palettes and open spacing. Chinese weavers use high-quality wool to produce durable, plush surfaces that hold intricate details well. This rug’s fine knotting ensures the patterns remain sharp and the colors stay vibrant over time.
An 10×16 rug like this one is ideal for spacious living rooms, formal dining areas, or large open-plan spaces under long tables and sofas. The bold red field brings warmth and energy to the room, while the blue borders provide grounding contrast. Wool makes it comfortable for barefoot walking, resistant to wear, and simple to maintain with regular vacuuming.
