Kashan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Kashan Persian rug at 9'11" x 6'7" presents a masterful interpretation of the classical Shah Abbasi medallion design, woven with the refined artistry that has distinguished Kashan weavers for over four centuries. The rich crimson field creates a dramatic foundation for the intricate navy blue central medallion, while delicate cream and beige floral motifs dance throughout the composition, accented by touches of lustrous gold, forest green, burgundy, and ivory that speak to the weaver's sophisticated color palette.
Kashan, the legendary Persian weaving center located south of Tehran, has been synonymous with luxury carpets since the Safavid dynasty, when royal workshops produced carpets for Persian palaces and European courts. This particular rug carries forward that noble tradition, hand-knotted with asymmetrical Persian knots that create the dense, velvety texture characteristic of authentic Kashan craftsmanship. The combination of natural wool and silk highlights adds luminous depth to each design element, while the 40-60 year age brings a coveted patina that cannot be replicated in contemporary pieces.
The Shah Abbasi pattern, named after the great Safavid ruler, represents the pinnacle of Persian carpet artistry with its flowing palmettes and arabesques that symbolize the eternal garden of paradise. The central medallion, known as toranj in Persian, serves as a cosmic symbol representing the dome of heaven, surrounded by quarter medallions in the corners that complete this celestial composition. Each burgundy accent and forest green detail has been carefully placed to create visual harmony, while the ivory highlights provide luminous contrast against the deeper tones.
At 9'11" x 6'7" feet, this exceptional Persian rug perfectly anchors a formal dining room, creates an elegant foundation for a sophisticated living room seating area, or transforms a master bedroom into a luxurious retreat. The crimson and navy blue color story complements both traditional and contemporary décor, while the medium scale makes it ideal for spaces that require substantial presence without overwhelming the room. Los Angeles Home of Rugs is proud to offer this authentic treasure that represents generations of Persian weaving expertise.
As a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece, this semi antique Kashan rug brings irreplaceable character and cultural heritage to any interior, elevating your space with the timeless sophistication that only authentic Persian craftsmanship can provide. The natural aging process has softened the colors to their current refined intensity, while the original structural integrity remains excellent, ensuring this magnificent carpet will continue to beautify your home for generations to come.
