Kashmar Rugs
Measuring 13x9 ft and featuring a Afshan design in Crimson, Ivory, this Semi Antique Kashmar rug embodies the weaving culture of Khorasan - a tradition of exceptional artistry and enduring craft excellence. Kashmar rugs are woven
on cotton foundations using the Persian asymmetrical knot, with a medium-length wool pile achieving a good balance between surface quality and practical durability. The design cartoons used in Kashmar workshops are prepared by
skilled professional designers drawing on the full classical Persian repertoire, and the weavers who execute them maintain the technical standards necessary to do justice to the complexity and ambition of these designs.
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.
