Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashan Persian rug measures 12'11" x 9'10", presenting a harmonious blend of cream and brown tones accented by deep navy blue, rust red, and gold highlights. The masterful medallion design, known as Toranj, radiates from the center in classical Persian tradition, while intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques create a sophisticated tapestry of artistic expression. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship.
The ancient city of Kashan in central Persia has been renowned for its exceptional carpet weaving since the Safavid dynasty of the 16th century. Master weavers from this historic region developed distinctive techniques that combined the finest wool with delicate silk accents, creating rugs of unparalleled quality. The asymmetrical Persian knots used in this piece reflect centuries of refined tradition, where each knot was carefully placed by skilled artisans who inherited their knowledge through generations of family workshops.
The central medallion symbolizes the cosmic order in Persian culture, representing the garden of paradise with its eternal beauty and divine harmony. The Shah Abbasi motifs surrounding the medallion honor the great Safavid ruler who elevated Persian carpet weaving to new artistic heights. The rich burgundy and forest green borders frame the composition like a precious manuscript illumination, while camel-colored details add warmth and depth to the overall palette.
This exceptional 12'11" x 9'10" foot size makes it perfect for anchoring a formal dining room or creating an elegant foundation in a spacious living area. The sophisticated color combination of cream and brown provides versatility for both traditional and contemporary interiors, while the navy blue accents add depth and richness. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this remarkable example of Persian weaving artistry, complete with its original fringed edges that speak to its authentic heritage.
The semi antique age of 40-60 years has allowed this Kashan masterpiece to develop the coveted patina that collectors treasure, where the natural wool has softened and the colors have achieved perfect harmony. The cotton foundation provides durability and structural integrity, ensuring this heirloom will continue to grace homes for generations to come.
