Kashmar Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashmar Persian rug, measuring 13'1" x 9'10", presents a harmonious blend of cream, rust red, and navy blue tones that create an atmosphere of refined elegance. The classical medallion design, known as Toranj, dominates the center field while intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques dance throughout the composition. At 40-60 years of age, this wool masterpiece has developed the subtle patina and character that collectors treasure, making it a distinguished addition to any sophisticated interior.
The ancient city of Kashmar in Khorasan province has been renowned for centuries as a center of exceptional rug weaving, where Persian artisans perfected the art of creating rugs that balance geometric precision with organic beauty. This region's weavers developed their distinctive style during the Safavid era, incorporating influences from nearby Mashhad while maintaining their own unique aesthetic vocabulary. The asymmetrical Persian knots used in this rug's construction reflect generations of technical mastery passed down through family workshops.
The central medallion serves as a cosmic symbol representing the dome of heaven, while the surrounding Shah Abbasi motifs-named after the great Safavid ruler-symbolize royal gardens and divine paradise. The Eslimi patterns that flow between these primary elements represent the eternal cycle of life and growth. The cream field provides a luminous backdrop that allows the rust red and navy blue accents to sing with vibrant intensity, while touches of brown, camel, charcoal, and ivory add depth and sophistication to the overall palette.
In contemporary interiors, this generous 13x9 ft size makes it perfect for anchoring large living rooms, formal dining spaces, or master bedroom suites where its semi antique patina can be fully appreciated. The warm cream foundation works beautifully with both traditional and modern furnishings, while the rich rust and navy accents complement leather furniture, dark woods, and metallic accessories. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure elevates any space with its timeless Persian artistry and museum-quality craftsmanship.
Los Angeles Home of Rugs takes pride in offering authentic Persian masterpieces like this exceptional Kashmar rug, where each knot tells a story of Persian heritage and artistic achievement. The natural wool and cotton construction ensures decades of beauty, while the traditional fringe adds an authentic finishing touch that speaks to centuries of weaving tradition.
