Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent Kashan Persian masterpiece, measuring 13'5" x 9'9", showcases the refined artistry of semi antique Persian weaving with its commanding medallion (Toranj) centerpiece surrounded by intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Eslimi arabesques. The sophisticated color palette transitions from deep navy blue and vibrant Persian blue to warm cream, rust red, and lustrous gold accents, creating a harmonious blend that speaks to decades of natural aging and the skilled hands of Persian master weavers.
The ancient city of Kashan in central Persia has been renowned for over a millennium as one of the most prestigious rug weaving centers, where artisans perfected the delicate balance between geometric precision and flowing organic motifs. This particular rug represents the classical Kashan tradition that flourished during the Safavid period, where court workshops produced rugs of extraordinary beauty for Persian palaces and noble houses. The asymmetrical Persian knots create an incredibly dense foundation that has allowed the intricate Shah Abbasi palmette borders and central medallion to maintain their crisp definition through 40-60 years of graceful aging.
The mesmerizing medallion design at the heart of this Kashan tells the story of Persian cosmology, where the central motif represents the celestial dome surrounded by four quarters symbolizing the earthly paradise. The navy blue field provides a dramatic backdrop for the cream and gold Eslimi vines that dance throughout the composition, while rust red accents add warmth and depth to the overall design. Antique gold highlights catch the light beautifully, creating an ever-changing visual experience as natural and artificial light play across the lustrous wool surface throughout the day.
This exceptional size makes it perfect for anchoring a formal dining room or creating an elegant foundation beneath a large living room seating arrangement, where its 13-foot length provides ample space for furniture placement while the sophisticated color scheme complements both traditional and contemporary décor. As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted treasure, this Kashan transforms any interior space into a gallery of Persian artistry, elevating the entire room with its museum-quality presence and timeless elegance. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this remarkable example of semi antique Kashan craftsmanship, complete with natural fringe details and the rich patina that only comes from decades of careful preservation.
