Kashmar Persian Rugs
This magnificent 13'1" x 9'10" Kashmar Persian rug presents the timeless Shah Abbasi medallion pattern in a breathtaking palette of navy blue, madder red, and cream accented with gold, forest green, rust red, ivory, and brown. Semi antique at 40-60 years old, this masterpiece showcases the sophisticated weaving traditions that have made Kashmar rugs treasured throughout Persia for centuries.
The historic city of Kashmar in Khorasan province has been a center of exceptional rug production since the Safavid dynasty, where master weavers perfected the intricate Shah Abbasi designs named after Shah Abbas I. This particular rug demonstrates the region's mastery of both asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes techniques, creating a dense, durable foundation that has preserved its beauty across decades. The deep navy blue field provides a regal backdrop for the elaborate central toranj medallion, while the rich madder red borders frame the composition with classical Persian elegance.
The Shah Abbasi pattern featured in this rug represents one of Persia's most revered design vocabularies, with its flowing palmettes, curved leaves, and intricate floral motifs symbolizing eternal paradise and divine gardens. The masterful use of cream and ivory creates luminous highlights throughout the design, while touches of forest green and rust red add depth and warmth. Gold accents catch the light beautifully, creating a dynamic surface that changes throughout the day.
At 13 by 9 feet, this substantial rug commands attention in large living rooms, formal dining areas, or spacious bedrooms, serving as both a functional floor covering and a captivating work of art. The natural wool construction provides luxurious underfoot comfort while the cotton foundation ensures structural integrity. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure from Los Angeles Home of Rugs elevates any interior with its authentic Persian craftsmanship and timeless beauty, bringing generations of weaving expertise into contemporary homes with unmatched sophistication.
