Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashan Persian rug measuring 11'4" x 7'10" presents an exquisite medallion composition that embodies four decades of graceful aging and masterful Persian craftsmanship. The cream field provides an elegant canvas for the intricate toranj medallion, while rich brown, camel, navy blue, dark red, gold, and black accents create a harmonious palette that speaks to the sophisticated artistry of Isfahan's legendary weavers.
The historic city of Isfahan has been renowned for centuries as Persia's cultural heart, where master artisans have perfected the art of rug weaving under royal patronage since the Safavid dynasty. This particular Kashan exemplifies the region's commitment to excellence, featuring the classic Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing eslimi arabesques that have graced Persian courts for generations. Each asymmetrical knot has been meticulously tied using premium natural wool and cotton, creating a foundation that has beautifully matured over its 40-60 year lifespan.
The central toranj medallion represents the cosmic dome of heaven in Persian symbolism, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi motifs honor the great Shah Abbas who elevated Persian carpet weaving to its golden age. The cream background symbolizes purity and enlightenment, enhanced by the warm camel and brown tones that evoke the ancient Silk Road, while navy blue represents the infinite sky and dark red signifies prosperity and joy.
At 11'4" x 7'10", this semi antique masterpiece is perfectly proportioned for a formal dining room, spacious living area, or elegant bedroom, where its refined colors will complement both traditional and contemporary furnishings. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic Persian treasure, a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug that will elevate any interior with its timeless beauty and cultural heritage that has been preserved through generations of master weavers.
