About the Item

his magnificent mid-20th-century Kashan rug represents one of the finest weaving traditions in Persia, celebrated for centuries for producing carpets of exceptional refinement, balance, and artistic depth. In mint, collector-grade condition, this piece showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that made Kashan one of the most respected rug-making cities in Iran. A Legacy Rooted in Centuries of Master Weaving Kashan’s weaving heritage dates back to the 16th and 17th centuries, when the Safavid dynasty elevated the city into a center of court-sponsored textile arts. Safavid-era Kashan carpets—many now displayed in museums—set the standard for: Precise drawing Elegant floral motifs Calm, symmetrical layouts High knot density and exceptional wool quality By the mid-20th century, Kashan experienced a revival of these classical traditions. Skilled workshops honored the timeless Safavid aesthetic while refining their techniques to produce rugs of remarkable uniformity, softness, and artistic clarity. Design Features of This Rug This carpet beautifully exemplifies the Kashan style of the period: A rich, saturated blue field, one of Kashan’s most coveted color palettes, symbolizing tranquility and spiritual depth A flowing all-over floral pattern, filled with palmettes, rosettes, and curling vine-scrolls drawn with exceptional precision Elegant ivory and gold accents, creating luminous contrast against the blue field Classic Kashan border architecture—a broad, ornate main border framed by delicate guard borders, creating a perfectly balanced composition The overall effect is one of harmony, refinement, and sophisticated rhythm—qualities that placed Kashan rugs among the most admired Persian weavings of the 20th century. Mint Condition – A Rare and Valuable Example Finding a mid-century Kashan in mint condition is increasingly uncommon. The pile retains its original height and sheen, the dyes remain vibrant, and the intricate floral drawing is perfectly preserved. This level of condition highlights: The superior materials originally used The careful care the rug has received over its life Its continued collectible and decorative value A Timeless Masterwork for Collectors Interiors This rug is ideal for those seeking: A true example of mid-20th-century Persian artistry A finely woven Kashan with classical floral elegance A durable yet luxurious textile suitable for both display and daily use A collectible heirloom with long-term value With its brilliant Royal Blue field, refined craftsmanship, and pristine condition, this mid-century Kashan is both a work of art and a testament to one of Persia’s most enduring weaving traditions.
