About the Item

A magnificent and rare 19th century oversized Manchester Kashan rug, handwoven in Persia using the finest imported Merino wool. This mansion-sized antique Kashan is a testament to the artistry and technical excellence of Persian weavers during the late 19th to early 20th century. It features a stately allover pattern across a richly toned field of burgundy, navy, cobalt blue, and golden yellow, creating a luxurious and visually arresting composition. The term “Manchester Kashan” refers to the superior-grade Manchester wool, imported from Manchester, England—highly prized for its exceptional softness, durability, and natural luster. This exquisite wool was dyed locally with vegetable-based dyes, using centuries-old techniques that lend a subtle variation and depth to the rug’s palette. The result is a carpet that exudes both refinement and richness, with a silken surface that catches the light beautifully. Manchester Kashan rugs are renowned globally for their masterful designs and high-quality craftsmanship, and examples in this size and condition are increasingly rare. This exceptional carpet offers timeless beauty, historic significance, and enduring luxury.

Antique Oversize Persian Khorassan in Allover Pattern in Purple, Blue, Ivory
Located in Barrington, IL
This extraordinary vintage Persian Khorassan rug is a striking example of refined elegance and artistic mastery, distinguished by its rare deep purple (eggplant) field— and a color seldom seen in Persian rug weaving and highly coveted by collectors and designers alike. Woven in the mid-1900s, this masterpiece pays visual homage to the legendary “Sickle-Leaf Vase Carpet”—also known as the William Clark Kerman Vase Carpet—which holds the world record for the most expensive rug ever sold at auction. The rug’s allover floral pattern is rendered in a symphony of soft, elegant tones: sandy yellow, French blue, pastel magenta, and navy, creating a harmonious contrast against the luxurious purple background. Each motif is delicately balanced, evoking the timeless grandeur of Persian garden themes and echoing the Safavid dynasty aesthetic that inspired the original vase carpet. Hand-knotted in the renowned Khorassan region of northeastern Iran, this piece showcases the exceptional craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and fine wool quality that define antique Persian rugs.
