Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashan Persian rug measuring 11'8" x 8'2" showcases the sublime artistry of Persian master weavers through its intricate Shah Abbasi medallion design rendered in a captivating palette of crimson, navy blue, ivory, gold, forest green, brown, rust red, and beige. The substantial 11'8" x 8'2" foot dimensions make this piece perfectly suited for anchoring large living rooms, formal dining spaces, or grand entryways where its commanding presence can be fully appreciated.
Kashan has been the crown jewel of Persian rug weaving since the Safavid dynasty of the 16th century, when Shah Abbas I established royal carpet workshops that produced the finest rugs in all of Persia. Located in the heart of central Persia along ancient trade routes, Kashan weavers developed legendary techniques using the finest wool and silk, creating rugs of unparalleled density and artistic sophistication that adorned Persian palaces and became treasured diplomatic gifts to European courts.
The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after the great Persian shah who elevated carpet weaving to high art, features flowing palmettes and arabesques that dance around the central medallion (Toranj) in perfect harmony. This classical motif represents the eternal garden of paradise in Persian culture, while the rich crimson field symbolizes nobility and passion, navy blue conveys wisdom and depth, and ivory represents purity and spiritual enlightenment in traditional Persian color philosophy.
With its 40-60 year patina, this semi antique masterpiece has developed the coveted lustrous sheen and subtle color variations that only decades of careful aging can achieve, making it a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure that instantly elevates any interior with its sophisticated Persian heritage. The generous proportions work beautifully under large sectional seating arrangements or as the centerpiece of spacious bedrooms, while the harmonious earth tones complement both traditional and contemporary furnishings.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this exceptional Kashan creation, where centuries-old weaving traditions meet timeless design sensibilities to create a living artwork that will enhance your home for generations to come.
