Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent 11'6" x 7'11" semi antique Kashan Persian rug showcases the sophisticated artistry that has made Kashan weavers legendary throughout Persia for over four centuries. The masterful combination of madder red and navy blue creates a commanding presence, while cream and ivory accents illuminate the intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes that dance around the central medallion, each motif telling stories of Persian garden paradise and royal patronage that flourished during the Safavid dynasty.
Kashan, the historic weaving center in central Persia, has been synonymous with luxury carpets since the 16th century, when Shah Abbas I established royal workshops that produced rugs for palaces across the Persian Empire. This particular rug embodies that noble heritage through its exceptional wool quality and meticulous asymmetrical knotting technique, with each knot tied by skilled artisans who inherited centuries of weaving wisdom from their ancestors in Isfahan province.
The iconic Toranj medallion at the heart of this carpet represents the dome of heaven in Persian cosmology, surrounded by Shah Abbasi palmettes that symbolize the four rivers of paradise flowing through the Garden of Eden. The rich madder red field, achieved through traditional natural dyes from the madder plant root, provides a warm foundation for the intricate navy blue, Persian blue, and antique gold details that create depth and movement throughout the composition, while brown and black accents define the flowing arabesque borders.
At 40-60 years of age, this semi antique treasure has developed the perfect patina that only time can bestow, softening the colors into harmonious tones while maintaining the structural integrity that ensures generations of beauty. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its perfect balance of grandeur and sophistication, making it an ideal centerpiece for formal dining rooms, spacious living areas, or executive offices where its generous 11'6" x 7'11" foot dimensions can be fully appreciated.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs presents this exceptional Kashan carpet as a testament to Persian weaving excellence, where traditional craftsmanship meets timeless design. The natural wool and cotton foundation ensures durability, while the classic color palette of deep reds, navy blues, and warm neutrals provides versatility that complements both traditional Persian decor and contemporary interior design schemes, creating an anchor of authentic beauty that transforms any room into a reflection of refined taste.
