Kashgai carpets are woven by nomadic and village tribes in the Fars province of southwestern Iran, traditionally recognised for their geometric motifs, rich madder red and indigo colour palettes, and distinctive stepped medallion designs.

Authentic pieces feature hand-spun wool pile on wool warps and wefts, traditionally dyed using natural organic sources such as madder root, indigo, and walnut shells, resulting in high durability and subtle abrash colour variations.

Key indicators include asymmetrical Persian knots, natural variations in hand-spun wool, organic irregularities in the geometric pattern, and natural abrash where dye batches shift subtly across the field.

These carpets add warmth and textural depth to contemporary spaces, serving as a grounding focal point on timber floors or layered over neutral sisal flooring in living rooms and studies.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in textile conservation, and keeping the rug out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading.
