Kashmar Rugs
This hand-knotted Antique Kashmar rug from Khorasan - 12x9 ft - presents a compelling Afshan composition woven in Crimson, Ivory, a living record of one of Persia's great regional weaving traditions. The color palette of Kashmar
rugs draws on both natural dye traditions and quality dyes depending on the period of production, with the most sought-after antique and semi-antique examples displaying the organic warmth and aging characteristics of
traditional dye practice. Deep reds, rich navies, warm ivory and cream grounds, accents of forest green and gold - the classical Persian palette deployed with confidence and authority.
The generous scale at which many Kashmar rugs were produced makes them natural choices for grand domestic spaces of contemporary life. Their bold compositions command attention and provide visual structure to large rooms, while
their warm color palettes and classically derived designs create an atmosphere of cultured elegance and historical depth that few other decorative elements can provide with equal authority.
Whether in antique, semi-antique, or vintage condition, Kashmar rugs represent excellent value in the market for classical Persian weaving - offering the design ambition and technical quality of the great city weaving traditions
at price points that make them accessible to a wide range of collectors and buyers who appreciate genuine Persian craftsmanship.
Kashmar rugs come from the city of Kashmar in the fertile Kashmar valley of Khorasan Province in northeastern Persia - a significant weaving center that has produced high-quality carpets since at least the latter decades of the
nineteenth century. Drawing on both the refined classical design vocabulary of Persia's great weaving centers and the bold regional character of the Khorasan tradition, Kashmar rugs combine technical ambition with decorative
power in distinctive and appealing ways.
