Kashan Rugs
Measuring 11x7 ft and featuring a Medallion design in Crimson, Navy Blue, this Semi Antique Kashan rug embodies the weaving culture of Isfahan - a tradition of exceptional artistry and enduring craft excellence. The cultural
significance of Kashan rugs extends well beyond their considerable aesthetic merits. The city produced some of the most important surviving examples of Safavid court carpet production and maintains an unbroken connection to this
royal tradition. To own a Kashan rug is to own a piece of Persia's greatest artistic heritage, maintained across centuries by the skill and total dedication of master weavers who understood their craft as a sacred calling.
Fine Kashan rugs are among the soundest investments available in the world of decorative arts. The combination of cultural prestige, technical excellence, premium natural materials, and designs of enduring aesthetic authority
ensures consistent appreciation in both cultural and monetary value. The great auction houses regularly achieve exceptional prices for fine Kashan rugs of all periods, reflecting the depth of worldwide demand from sophisticated
collectors.
Kashan rugs occupy a unique and unassailable position in the hierarchy of Persian weaving, regarded by connoisseurs and scholars worldwide as among the finest expressions of the classical Persian carpet-making tradition. The
ancient city of Kashan in Isfahan Province has been synonymous with weaving excellence for over four hundred years - from the great Safavid court carpets of the sixteenth century to the masterworks of the modern revival begun by
master weaver Haj Molla Hassan Kashani in the late nineteenth century.
The technical standards of Kashan rug production are among the highest in the world of hand-knotted textiles. Skilled weavers working from meticulously prepared design cartoons tie individual Persian asymmetrical knots at
densities ranging from 300 to 800 or more per square inch, translating complex floral arabesque compositions, grand medallion designs, Shah Abbasi palmette all-over patterns, and elaborate vase carpet designs into pile with a
level of precision that approaches the resolution of a painted canvas.
