Kashan Persian Rugs
This exquisite semi-antique Kashan Persian rug measuring 4'11" x 2'11" presents a magnificent Kheshti garden design rendered in a sophisticated palette of cream, navy blue, and crimson with accents of rust red, gold, green, black, and white. Dating back 40-60 years, this exceptional piece showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from the Isfahan region, where the renowned Kashan tradition has flourished for centuries.
The ancient city of Kashan, nestled in central Persia, has been synonymous with luxury carpet weaving since the Safavid dynasty of the 16th century. Persian artisans in this legendary weaving center developed the distinctive asymmetrical knotting technique that creates the dense, lustrous pile characteristic of authentic Kashan rugs. This particular example demonstrates the region's evolution from classical court carpets to more accessible yet equally refined pieces that maintain the highest standards of Persian craftsmanship.
The Kheshti or garden pattern adorning this rug represents the Persian concept of paradise on earth, featuring intricate Shah Abbasi palmettes and flowing Afshan motifs that create an all-over design of remarkable complexity. The cream field provides an elegant foundation for the navy blue geometric framework, while crimson accents breathe life into the traditional garden compartments. Gold highlights illuminate the detailed botanical elements, creating depth and movement across the rug's surface.
The harmonious color story of deep navy blues against warm cream establishes a timeless sophistication, while crimson and rust red details add warmth and character that speaks to the rug's authentic Persian heritage. Green accents echo natural garden elements, while strategic touches of black and white create definition and contrast throughout the intricate design. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any interior space with its perfect balance of traditional Persian artistry and versatile contemporary appeal.
At 4'11" x 2'11", this semi-antique Kashan serves beautifully as an accent piece in entryways, powder rooms, or as a stunning focal point beside a reading chair or vanity. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic Persian treasure, complete with natural wool and cotton construction that ensures both beauty and durability for generations of enjoyment in your home.
