Kashmar Persian Rugs
This exceptional semi antique Kashmar Persian rug, measuring 6'7" x 3'6", showcases the masterful artistry of Persian weavers from the Khorasan province with its stunning Shah Abbasi medallion design rendered in a sophisticated palette of crimson, navy blue, and ivory accented with gold, forest green, rust red, sky blue, and ochre. The intricate toranj (medallion) centerpiece draws the eye with its flowing palmettes and curvilinear motifs, while the surrounding field blooms with delicate floral sprays that have been perfected over generations of Persian weaving tradition. This one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece elevates any living space with its timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship, representing 40-60 years of natural aging that has enhanced its lustrous wool fibers to perfection.
The ancient city of Kashmar, nestled in the northeastern Persian province of Khorasan, has been a celebrated center of carpet weaving since the Safavid era, where skilled artisans have passed down the secrets of creating these magnificent rugs through countless generations. The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after the great Safavid ruler Shah Abbas I, represents the golden age of Persian carpet design with its sophisticated palmette motifs and flowing vine scrolls that symbolize the eternal garden of paradise. This particular weaving tradition flourished in Kashmar during the early to mid-20th century, when master weavers achieved remarkable technical precision using both asymmetrical Persian knots and symmetrical Ghiordes knots to create carpets of exceptional durability and beauty.
The rich crimson field serves as a canvas for the intricate navy blue medallion, while ivory borders frame the composition with geometric precision and classical Persian motifs. Gold highlights dance throughout the design, catching light and adding warmth to any interior, while forest green and rust red details provide depth and complexity to the overall color harmony. The subtle sky blue and ochre accents demonstrate the weaver's mastery of color balance, creating a rug that complements both traditional and contemporary décor schemes with remarkable versatility.
At approximately 6'7" x 3'6" feet, this Kashmar rug is perfectly sized for intimate spaces such as entryways, reading nooks, or as an accent piece in bedrooms and studies, where its semi antique character adds instant sophistication and cultural richness. Los Angeles Home of Rugs carefully selects each piece for its exceptional quality and authentic provenance, ensuring that collectors and interior designers receive only the finest examples of Persian weaving artistry. The natural wool construction and cotton foundation provide lasting durability while maintaining the soft hand-feel that makes these rugs a pleasure to walk upon, whether placed on hardwood floors or over existing carpeting for added texture and visual interest.
