Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashan Persian rug, measuring 13'10" x 10'4", showcases the pinnacle of Persian carpet artistry with its intricate medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by flowing Shah Abbasi palmettes and delicate Eslimi arabesques. The commanding crimson field provides a regal backdrop for the navy blue central medallion, while cream and beige accents create luminous contrast against the deeper tones of forest green, gold, brown, and ivory that dance throughout the composition. Dating from 40-60 years ago, this semi antique masterpiece carries the wisdom of traditional Persian weavers who understood the sacred geometry of design.
The ancient city of Kashan, nestled in the heart of Persia's Isfahan province, has been renowned for centuries as a center of extraordinary carpet weaving, where master artisans perfected techniques passed down through generations of silk merchants and royal court weavers. Persian Kashan rugs emerged during the Safavid dynasty as symbols of imperial luxury, when Shah Abbas I established royal workshops that produced carpets for palaces across the Persian Empire. The medallion design represents the celestial dome of heaven, with each Shah Abbasi palmette symbolizing the tree of life, while the Eslimi arabesques flow like rivers of paradise through the sacred garden motif.
The sophisticated color palette of this Kashan rug speaks to Persia's mastery of natural dyes, where crimson represents the life force and passion, navy blue embodies wisdom and nobility, while cream and beige provide the earthly foundation for spiritual transcendence. Forest green symbolizes the eternal gardens of paradise, gold captures the divine light of enlightenment, and the subtle brown and ivory tones create depth and harmony throughout the composition. Each color was carefully selected and applied by master dyers who understood the symbolic language of Persian carpet artistry.
This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted rug elevates any living space with its perfect proportions for grand dining rooms, spacious living areas, or master bedrooms where its 13'10" x 10'4" foot dimensions create an anchor of timeless elegance. The asymmetrical Persian knots, woven from natural wool with silk highlights, create a lustrous surface that captures and reflects light in mesmerizing patterns. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional piece that transforms modern interiors with centuries of Persian cultural heritage, offering sophisticated homeowners an opportunity to own a genuine work of art that appreciates in both beauty and value over time.
