Kashan Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi antique Kashan Persian rug, measuring a perfect 2'11" x 1'12", presents the timeless Afshan pattern in a symphony of cream, navy blue, and crimson that speaks to centuries of Persian artistic mastery. Woven between 40-60 years ago in the Isfahan region, this compact treasure showcases the intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and delicate vase motifs that define classical Kashan artistry, with each asymmetrical Persian knot telling stories of skilled craftsmen who dedicated months to its creation.
The historic city of Kashan, nestled in central Persia, has been renowned since the Safavid dynasty for producing rugs of extraordinary refinement and technical precision. Persian weavers in this region developed the sophisticated Afshan design during the 16th century, creating all-over patterns that flow seamlessly across the field like blossoming gardens. This particular rug embodies that legacy, with its cream foundation providing an elegant backdrop for the navy blue primary motifs, while touches of gold, forest green, and brown create depth and warmth throughout the composition.
The Afshan pattern represents the Persian concept of paradise garden, where every element harmoniously connects to create visual infinity. The Shah Abbasi palmettes, named after the great Safavid ruler, dance across the field alongside stylized vase forms that symbolize abundance and prosperity. The rich crimson accents and rust red highlights add passion and vitality, while the sophisticated interplay of colors creates a mesmerizing effect that draws the eye deeper into the design's intricate details.
At just 2'11" x 1'12" feet, this remarkable piece serves as the perfect accent for intimate spaces, powder rooms, or as an elegant focal point beside a reading chair or beneath a console table. Los Angeles Home of Rugs proudly presents this exceptional example of Persian weaving tradition, where the compact size allows every intricate detail to be appreciated up close. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece possesses the remarkable ability to transform any corner of your home into a gallery of Persian artistry.
The natural wool and cotton construction ensures durability while maintaining the lustrous sheen characteristic of authentic Kashan rugs, with the semi antique patina adding character and authenticity that only time can bestow. The delicate interplay of forest green borders and black outlines creates definition and structure, while the blue undertones complement the dominant cream and navy palette, making this treasured rug a versatile addition to both traditional and contemporary interiors where Persian elegance is most appreciated.
