About the Item
This antique 9x13 Persian rug is a rare hand-knotted silk piece, believed to originate from the Isfahani city of Kashan circa 1890-1900.
On the Design:
This magnificent antique Silk Kashan carpet is a regal tapestry that exemplifies the highest standards of Central Persian weaving. Its design enjoys an elaborate all-over pattern that is uniquely structured into a grid-like system of elegant compartments. The legendary nature of the weave is defined by its material: the silk further lends a luxurious natural sheen that sits beautifully in the light, giving the entire piece a luminous, ghost-like dimension. This shimmering field acts as a veil, revealing stunning flashes of its original vibrant hues—including rich burgundy, deep navy blue, gold, and soft turquoise—within the intricate, repeating squares set atop an ivory undertone.
The complexity of the patterning is exceptional: each compartment holds a microcosm of detail, from floral cartouches to vine work, reflecting the masterful density required of Kashani rugs. Keen eyes will admire the sheer range of colors and the masterful, fluid execution of the internal motifs. This item is an extremely collectible piece in all its elements that rather exemplifies the standards of regal Kashani rugs, showcasing impeccable artistry and history.
Condition:
This antique Silk Kashan is presented in fair vintage condition, exhibiting scattered wear to the silk pile and localized foundation exposure where small holes are beginning to develop. The piece shows signs of old repairs, particularly along the edges, and dryness in the foundation, all consistent with its age and material.
