About the Item
77370 Antique Persian Kashan Rug, 10'09 x 17'01. Steeped in the grandeur of Persia’s Golden Age of weaving, this hand-knotted wool antique Kashan rug captures the very essence of refinement and royal artistry. Woven in the early 20th century in the illustrious city of Kashan—long revered as the cradle of Persian textile mastery—this extraordinary carpet embodies an era when craftsmanship was not merely practiced, but exalted. Its opulent surface reveals a poetic interplay of pattern and proportion, a symphony of ornamentation that whispers of courtly palaces and aristocratic salons where such pieces once graced marble floors.
The luminous field, awash in a deep crimson hue, is a visual feast of blooming palmettes, curling vine scrolls, and stylized lotus blossoms—a delicate balance of symmetry and spontaneity. Each signature motif feels alive, as though swaying in an eternal Persian garden, rendered with an exactitude that speaks to generations of master weavers. At its heart lies a refined medallion that anchors the composition with commanding poise, surrounded by a constellation of floral sprays that unfold like verses from a Rumi poem—lush, rhythmic, and infinitely expressive.
Encircling this radiant expanse, a sumptuous navy border provides the perfect counterpoint—a frame of regal calm to the vibrancy within. The border’s floral meander, flanked by triple guard bands, evokes the timeless Persian notion of paradise: a walled garden where harmony and abundance reign. Subtle abrash and the hand-spun character of the wool lend a tactile warmth and visual depth, ensuring that this exceptional Kashan does not simply hang in time, but breathes with it—alive with the touch of its maker’s hand.
To encounter this exquisite work of art is to encounter living history, woven in precious threads of devotion and artistry. For the discerning collector, it represents not only a rare and enduring masterpiece but a legacy—a one-of-a-kind heirloom destined to command admiration in the most refined of interiors. It is a carpet of consequence, one that transforms any space it graces into a sanctuary of cultivated taste and timeless beauty.
