Kashmar Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi-antique Kashmar Persian rug measuring 12'10" x 9'8" showcases the timeless elegance of Shah Abbasi design paired with a striking central medallion, woven four to six decades ago in the storied workshops of Khorasan province. The ivory field creates a luminous foundation for the intricate navy blue, crimson, forest green, gold, brown, and black motifs that dance across its surface, telling stories of Persian artistry passed down through generations of master weavers.
The ancient city of Kashmar, nestled in Persia's northeastern Khorasan region, has been renowned for centuries as a center of exceptional rug weaving, where nomadic traditions merged with urban sophistication to create some of the world's most coveted floor coverings. The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after Persia's greatest Safavid ruler, represents the pinnacle of classical Persian design, featuring palmettes, arabesques, and flowing vines that symbolize paradise gardens and eternal life in Persian culture.
The central medallion, known as toranj in Persian, serves as the rug's focal point, radiating intricate geometric and floral patterns that represent the cosmos and divine order in traditional Persian philosophy. The rich crimson accents symbolize joy and celebration, while the navy blue borders represent nobility and wisdom, creating a harmonious balance that speaks to the weaver's masterful understanding of color theory and symbolic meaning.
This generous 12'10" x 9'8" foot size makes it perfect for anchoring large living rooms, formal dining areas, or spacious master bedrooms, providing enough space to accommodate substantial furniture arrangements while leaving elegant borders that frame the room beautifully. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece, where each knot represents hours of meticulous handwork using traditional asymmetrical Persian techniques combined with symmetrical Ghiordes knots for added durability and texture variation.
Crafted entirely from natural wool and cotton with authentic hand-knotted construction, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece transforms any interior into a sophisticated sanctuary that celebrates the enduring legacy of Persian craftsmanship while elevating your home with its timeless beauty and cultural significance.
