Kashmar Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashmar Persian rug measuring 12'10" x 9'7" showcases the masterful artistry of Khorasan province weavers, where crimson and madder red hues dance across an ivory field in perfect harmony with touches of gold, navy blue, and emerald accents. The generous 12'10" x 9'7" foot dimensions make this piece ideal for anchoring spacious living rooms, formal dining areas, or master bedrooms, providing substantial coverage while maintaining elegant proportions that complement both traditional and contemporary interiors.
Kashmar rugs originate from the historic city of Kashmar in northeastern Persia's Khorasan province, a region renowned for producing some of the finest Persian carpets since the Safavid dynasty. Local artisans have passed down their weaving techniques through generations, creating rugs distinguished by their exceptional durability and sophisticated color palettes derived from natural dyes sourced from the surrounding mountainous terrain. The city's strategic location along ancient trade routes influenced its distinctive artistic traditions, blending classical Persian motifs with subtle regional variations.
The centerpiece medallion (Toranj) features intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes surrounded by flowing Eslimi arabesques, creating a mesmerizing focal point that draws the eye while maintaining perfect symmetrical balance. These design elements carry deep symbolic meaning in Persian culture - the central medallion represents the dome of heaven, while the Shah Abbasi palmettes symbolize prosperity and divine blessing, and the flowing Eslimi patterns evoke the infinite nature of creation and eternal life.
The rich color story unfolds through layers of crimson and madder red that provide warmth and vitality, while ivory creates breathing space and luminosity throughout the composition. Gold accents add luxurious highlights, navy blue provides grounding depth, and emerald touches bring natural freshness, with rust red and beige completing this sophisticated palette. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its commanding presence and timeless Persian elegance. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional example of Kashmar craftsmanship, offering collectors and design enthusiasts access to authentic Persian artistry that will enhance their homes for generations to come.
