Teal Blue Royal Medallion Persian Rug · 1200 Reeds · 3M Points

Heritage & inspiration

Kashan weaving from the 1880s through 1920 — the great revival period when Mohtasham Kashan and the Kashan master weavers produced what many collectors still consider the finest court-quality Persian carpets of the modern era — occasionally dyed grounds in deep teal and turquoise as opposed to the dominant red and ivory. These teal-ground Kashans were typically commissioned pieces, not market production. The medallion-on-teal convention reads as a more deliberate, more chromatically-confident statement than red-ground Kashan.

Distinct from the cohort's Teal Safavid Tabriz anchor, which uses the curvilinear arabesque of 16th-c. Tabriz court weaving. This piece, in the Kashan register, is later (late 19th c.) and more formally-structured — the medallion sits more centrally, the border is more rectilinear, the overall composition reads as drawing-room declaration rather than as flowing court display.

How it feels underfoot

1200 Reeds (1200 شانه) on premium cotton warp; density over 3,000,000 knots/m² (تراکم). Same engineered consistency as the rest of the cohort.

Designer styling notes

• Wood: mahogany, walnut, dark-stained oak — dark formal woods anchor against the saturated teal
• Upholstery: ivory damask, antique brass-button velvet, oxblood leather, gold-toned silk — jewel-tone palette tolerates strong solids
• Metal: aged brass, antique gold, dark bronze — the teal ground pulls cool from polished chrome and nickel
• Rooms: formal living rooms, dining rooms (particularly under a long rectangular table), libraries with leather chairs, formal entries
• Lighting: warm 2700K essential — cool LED flattens teal to dirty navy and loses the jewel reading

Best for · skip if

Best for: rooms with formal color discipline and substantial casegoods. Particularly strong in older Sacramento homes (East Sac Tudors, Land Park Mediterraneans) where saturated colors flatter the architecture.

Skip if the brief is restrained-neutral, the architecture is light-and-airy modern (the teal ground will dominate), or you want curvilinear flow rather than centered declaration (use the Teal Safavid Tabriz anchor instead).

This piece sits in the easy-care performance family — high-density polypropylene or polyester pile on a cotton foundation, precision machine-woven for sharp pattern definition with hand-finished edges. The construction is purpose-built for family-friendly living: stain-resistant, fade-resistant, low-maintenance, and forgiving of regular vacuuming and spot cleaning.

Patterns are inspired by Persian, Kashan, Tabriz, and Turkmen design vocabularies — reinterpreted in a soft synthetic blend that performs in high-traffic rooms without the maintenance commitment of a hand-knotted wool piece.

A rug should run 18–24 inches past the sofa on each side. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — an undersized rug is the most common mistake we see.

• Vacuum weekly with the beater bar off to protect the pile
• Blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (don't rub)
• Rotate the rug 180° every 6 months for even wear
• Professional clean every 18–24 months
• No rug pad needed — the cotton backing and the rug's weight keep it flat; a small rug that shifts can use adhesive grippers or corner holders
