Kashmar Persian Rugs
This magnificent 12'10" x 9'8" Kashmar presents a commanding presence with its richly saturated madder red field punctuated by an intricate ivory and navy blue Shah Abbasi medallion at its heart. The semi-antique character of this 40-60 year old masterpiece reveals itself through the subtle patina that has developed across its wool surface, creating depth and visual interest that only time can bestow. Golden accents dance throughout the composition alongside warm beige and brown tones, while strategic touches of deep green and black provide sophisticated contrast that speaks to the weaver's masterful understanding of color harmony.
The ancient city of Kashmar in Persia's northeastern Khorasan province has been renowned for centuries as a center of exceptional rug weaving, where skilled artisans have passed down their techniques through generations of family workshops. This particular region's weavers are celebrated for their ability to create rugs that balance bold central designs with intricate border work, utilizing both asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes knots to achieve remarkable structural integrity and visual complexity.
The Shah Abbasi motif that dominates this rug's central medallion represents one of the most revered patterns in Persian weaving tradition, named after the great Safavid ruler who championed the arts during Persia's golden age. The Toranj medallion design creates a focal point that draws the eye inward while the surrounding palmettes and vine scrolls radiate outward, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life and the divine connection between earth and heaven that Persian artisans have long sought to capture in their work.
Each color in this remarkable piece carries profound symbolic meaning rooted in Persian culture - the dominant madder red represents passion and vitality, the ivory symbolizes purity and spiritual enlightenment, while the navy blue evokes the infinite depths of the Persian sky. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates any living space with its perfect balance of traditional artistry and timeless elegance that transcends decorative trends.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, we recognize that a rug of this caliber serves as more than floor covering - it becomes the foundation upon which an entire room's aesthetic is built. The generous 12'10" x 9'8" foot dimensions make this Kashmar ideal for anchoring large living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master bedrooms where its semi-antique character can be fully appreciated and its rich color palette can complement both traditional Persian furnishings and contemporary design elements with equal sophistication.
