This 8'2 x 10' Antique Persian Kashan Rug is an outstanding example of classic Kashan craftsmanship, woven approximately 60 years ago and preserved in remarkable, near-new condition. Its balanced proportions, refined floral composition, and saturated color palette reflect the high standards that made Kashan one of Persia’s most respected weaving centers. Despite its age, the rug shows exceptional clarity, pile integrity, and crisp detailing throughout.
Design and Motifs
The design centers around an elegant multi-layered medallion set against a densely ornamented field. Delicate floral sprays, rosettes, palmettes, and curling vine work radiate outward in perfect symmetry. The motifs are finely articulated, creating depth without visual heaviness. Each element is carefully spaced, allowing the pattern to feel intricate yet harmonious.
Border and Framing
A richly decorated navy border frames the rug with repeating floral motifs and scrolling vines, supported by multiple guard borders that add rhythm and definition. The borders provide contrast and structure, anchoring the central field while enhancing the rug’s formal Kashan character.
Colors and Their Placement
A deep ruby red field dominates the composition, providing warmth and richness. Dark navy blue defines the medallion, borders, and key outlining details. Ivory highlights floral elements and brings brightness to the overall design. Soft sky blue, muted blush pink, olive green, and light gray accents are woven throughout the motifs, adding subtle color variation and visual depth without overpowering the composition.
Materials and Craftsmanship
Hand-knotted using high-quality Persian wool, this Kashan rug features a dense, even pile with excellent knot definition. The wool has retained its natural sheen and resilience, a testament to both the quality of materials and the precision of the weaving. The rug’s structure remains flat and well-balanced, reflecting expert craftsmanship from start to finish.
Condition Note
Despite being approximately 60 years old, this rug is in exceptional, brand-new condition. The pile is full, colors are vivid, and there is no wear, making it a rare find in this age category.
