A documented collector's piece from what is widely considered the golden age of Kashan weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the late nineteenth century, the workshops of Kashan began importing prime Australian merino wool processed in the spinning mills of \u003cstrong\u003eManchester, England\u003c\/strong\u003e — at the time the finest and most consistent wool available anywhere in the world. The fibres were longer, finer and remarkably lustrous, and they took natural dyes with a brilliance that local wool could not match. The resulting carpets are known to the trade simply as \u003cem\u003eManchester Kashans\u003c\/em\u003e, and they remain the benchmark for what a fine antique Kashan can be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is hand-knotted at approximately \u003cstrong\u003e250,000–360,000 knots per m²\u003c\/strong\u003e, set on a cotton warp and weft, with a pile of around \u003cstrong\u003e7–9 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e. The drawing of the small flowers, leaf veins and slender curling tendrils is only possible at this density — and the Manchester wool gives every line the soft sheen that lifts it from the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette is the classic Manchester Kashan vocabulary, beautifully developed. A warm \u003cstrong\u003ecoral-to-brick madder red\u003c\/strong\u003e carries the inner field — the signature Kashan red, aged into a soft, luminous salmon-rose patina. A deep \u003cstrong\u003eindigo-blue main border\u003c\/strong\u003e frames the composition, with royal-blue and powder-blue accents in the leaves and rosettes, \u003cstrong\u003ehoney and golden yellow\u003c\/strong\u003e in the stems and tendrils, caramel browns in the main vines, and fine ivory guard lines separating the border bands. The combination of saturated madder, deep indigo and the unmistakable lustre of the wool is the single clearest indicator of a Manchester-grade Kashan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is a classic Kashan \u003cstrong\u003eallover floral field\u003c\/strong\u003e — no central medallion, but a balanced, rhythmic pattern of rising, branching flower sprays that reads almost as a stylised garden. Small palmettes, rosettes and dense clusters of blossoms fill every interstice; the deep indigo main border carries large floral palmettes and curling vines, framed by narrower guard borders with running floral repeats. Despite the density of the drawing, the composition reads as calm and balanced — the mark of a master weaver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:500;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:2px;color:#8b0000;border-bottom:1px solid #e8e8e8;padding-bottom:0.5rem;margin-top:2rem;\"\u003eAn Antique Manchester Kashan as an Investment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine Manchester Kashans of the 1900–1920 period — woven from the long-staple, high-lustre Manchester merino that is no longer produced — are a finite and appreciating category at the very top of the antique Persian market.

By the early twentieth century, Sarouk had established itself as a benchmark for dense, lustrous wool and disciplined floral composition. Pieces from the 1920s are now over a century old; the wool has settled, the natural dyes have deepened, and the surface has gained the layered depth that distinguishes a genuine antique from a younger piece washed to look older.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Sarouk is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation. The composition is the classical Sarouk vocabulary, read here through a palette of rust, brown and blue — the rust carrying the field with its botanical motifs, brown anchoring the medallion and border, blue running through the secondary elements as a cooler counterpoint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eComposition and Palette\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sarouk floral repertoire is dense without being busy — stylised palmettes, curling vines and botanical motifs are arranged with a clarity that comes from disciplined workshop production. Rust as the dominant field tone is the classical Sarouk register: warm without being aggressive, deep without losing legibility. The blue accents through the borders give the composition its breathing space, and the brown contour holds everything together as architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003ePlacement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 186 × 365 cm this is a generous long format — anchoring a long dining table with chairs pulled back, running the length of a large hallway or grand corridor, or organising an open-plan living space as a horizontal field. Antique Sarouk wool is famously robust; the piece has already proven its durability over a century and will hold up to everyday use. Use a non-slip pad on smooth flooring; suitable above underfloor heating.
