About the Item

A Legacy of Persian Artistry This handmade vintage Persian Kashan rug, dating from the 1940s, is a magnificent testament to centuries of refined carpet weaving traditions. Kashan rugs are celebrated globally for their exceptional knot density, intricate curvilinear designs, and luxurious wool pile. This particular piece embodies the sophisticated beauty and meticulous craftsmanship for which Persian city rugs are renowned, offering an opulent focal point for any interior. Opulent Design and Rich Palette The rug features a dominant and captivating deep red field, a classic color that exudes warmth and grandeur. Central to its design is a grand, exquisitely detailed medallion, often described as a multi-layered sunburst or floral starburst, from which elegant pendants extend into the field. The field itself is densely filled with a breathtaking array of curvilinear vines, graceful Shah Abbas palmettes, delicate rosettes, and intricate floral sprays that seem to bloom across the surface. This elaborate pattern is rendered in a rich, harmonious palette including various shades of navy blue, serene light blue, creamy ivory, verdant greens, and subtle accent colors, creating a vibrant yet balanced composition. A series of meticulously detailed borders frames the central design, complementing its floral opulence and adding depth to the overall aesthetic. Handcrafted Quality and Enduring Condition Hand-knotted from 100% premium wool, this Persian Kashan rug boasts an incredibly soft yet durable pile, characteristic of its high quality and dense knotting. The robust construction ensures both a luxurious feel underfoot and exceptional longevity. This vintage piece is in good condition, with one minor spot in the center being slightly faded, a gentle patina consistent with its age and history. This subtle imperfection adds to its unique character, telling a story of its journey through time. The rug has been professionally cleaned and carefully prepared, ready to grace your home with its beauty and heritage. Timeless Grandeur for Any Space The classic sophistication and impressive scale of this vintage Kashan rug make it an ideal centerpiece for grand interiors. It is perfectly suited to anchor a formal living room, elevate a spacious dining area, or add a touch of historical luxury to a master bedroom or study. For collectors and connoisseurs of genuine antique textiles, this Persian Kashan rug represents a significant acquisition, offering both superb decorative appeal and a tangible connection to the esteemed tradition of Persian art. It is more than just a floor covering; it is a magnificent work of art to be cherished for generations. 3.
