Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent 11'8" x 8'0" semi antique Kashan Persian rug represents six decades of graceful aging, its cream field adorned with the timeless Shah Abbasi medallion design that has graced Persian homes since the Safavid dynasty. The central toranj medallion blooms in navy blue and Persian blue against the luminous cream background, while burgundy and rust red accents dance throughout the intricate palmette and vine motifs that flow like poetry across the wool and silk foundation.
From the ancient city of Kashan in central Persia, renowned for its master weavers and silk trade routes, this exceptional piece carries forward centuries of artistic tradition where craftsmen developed their legendary techniques under royal patronage. The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after the great Safavid ruler, features flowing arabesques and palmettes that symbolize paradise gardens, each motif hand-knotted with asymmetrical Persian knots that create the distinctive texture and durability these rugs are celebrated for worldwide.
The sophisticated color palette speaks to the weaver's mastery of natural dyes, where deep forest green grounds the composition while ochre highlights add warmth to the overall harmony. Navy blue borders frame the central medallion with geometric precision, while burgundy guard stripes provide elegant transition zones that guide the eye through the rug's balanced proportions, creating a visual rhythm that transforms any living space into a sanctuary of refined taste.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates contemporary and traditional interiors alike, its generous 11'8" x 8'0" dimensions perfect for anchoring a formal dining room or creating an elegant foundation beneath a seating arrangement in spacious living areas. The semi antique patina adds character and depth that new rugs cannot replicate, while the lustrous wool and silk blend catches light beautifully throughout the day, revealing subtle variations in the intricate pattern work.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional Kashan treasure, where four to six decades of careful aging have mellowed the colors to perfection while preserving the structural integrity that will grace your home for generations to come. The traditional cotton foundation and hand-finished fringes demonstrate authentic Persian craftsmanship, making this rug not merely a floor covering but a piece of cultural heritage that connects your space to the timeless artistry of Persia's most celebrated weaving center.
