The Sporting Estate Semi-Antique Persian Kashan Hunting Rug — 4'6" × 7'

A remarkable example of Persian weaving and sporting iconography, The Sporting Estate Semi-Antique Kashan Hunting Rug is a finely hand-knotted wool carpet dating to the 1950s. Richly detailed and beautifully preserved, it has the presence of both a functional textile and a collected work of art.

Handmade in Kashan, Persia, the rug depicts an elaborate hunting scene rendered in a sophisticated multicolor palette. Equestrian figures, animals, foliage, and ornamental details unfold across the field in the narrative tradition for which Persian hunting carpets are prized. The intricacy is heightened by a fine 275 KPSI knot density, allowing the composition to achieve exceptional definition and detail.

Most notably, the rug bears the woven signature of its master weaver, reading “Kashan Akhavan Pourbabaei,” adding another layer of provenance and distinction to an already uncommon piece.

At 4'6" × 7', its proportions make it particularly versatile: substantial enough to anchor a library seating arrangement or intimate study, yet compact enough to be appreciated in an entry hall, beside a writing desk, or in front of a fireplace.

Within The Heritage Stable House or Sporting Estate, pair it with saddle leather, dark oak, aged brass, tartan wool, antique sporting prints, and equestrian objects. Unlike a reproduction designed simply to suggest age, this is a genuine semi-antique textile whose history and craftsmanship contribute directly to the character of a room.
