This 6'7 x 9'10" Green Persian Kashan Rug is a classic example of refined city weaving from Kashan, Iran. Known for their balanced proportions, detailed drawing, and long-lasting wool, Kashan rugs are among the most respected Persian weavings. This piece combines an elegant green field with a traditional medallion layout and a richly ornamented border.

Design and Motifs

The design centers around a well-defined medallion surrounded by a dense network of floral vines, palmettes, rosettes, and delicate arabesques. The motifs are carefully mirrored along the vertical axis, creating harmony and visual depth. The scrolling vine work fills the field evenly, a hallmark of classic Kashan composition.

Border and Framing

A wide main border frames the rug with repeating floral medallions and curling leaves set against a warm contrasting ground. Multiple guard borders with smaller geometric and floral elements provide separation between the field and the outer edge, reinforcing structure and balance.

Colors and Their Placement

The primary field features a soft green tone that gives the rug a calm, sophisticated presence. Accents of terracotta, ivory, navy blue, light blue, muted gold, and soft brown appear throughout the floral motifs and medallion. The border introduces warmer rust and terracotta shades, creating contrast while remaining visually cohesive.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Hand-knotted using high-quality Persian wool, this Kashan rug has a dense, resilient pile with a smooth, even surface. The wool accepts dye exceptionally well, resulting in crisp outlines and long-lasting color clarity. Kashan rugs are valued for both their aesthetic precision and dependable construction.
