9'6 x 12'10 Hand-Knotted Persian Kashan Room-Sized Rug
Item Details
This oversized 9’6’ x 12’10’ Persian Kashan rug is a premier example of 20th century Iranian city weaving. Hand-knotted with high-grade lamb’s wool (kork) on a stable cotton foundation, the rug features a monumental central teardrop medallion radiating intricate floral sprays in shades of ivory and sky blue. The field is a deep, saturated madder red, populated by a ‘symphony’ of scrolling palmettes, leafy tendrils, and traditional Shah Abbasi blossoms. Detailed midnight indigo spandrels anchor the corners, mirrored by a sumptuous primary border system adorned with interconnected floral vines and rosettes. Renowned for their technical precision and luminous pile, Kashan rugs of this size and era are prized for their ‘handkerchief-like’ handle and exceptional durability, representing the pinnacle of classical Safavid-inspired design.
