19th Century Oversized Manchester Kashan in Allover Pattern with Burgundy, Navy

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. Despite age-related wear and a gently worn pile, the rug remains in very good condition for its age, and its grandeur and vibrant color story remain fully intact. The large-scale floral and vine motif adds both movement and majesty, making this piece ideal for formal living spaces, salons, or grand interiors seeking a rare, elegant centerpiece with provenance. 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.
