Kashan

Kashan has for centuries been one of the great names of Persian carpet art and is internationally recognised for producing some of the finest master woven carpets of Central Persia. This exceptional Kashan rug from Iran is an impressive example of this tradition and combines elegant ornamentation, extraordinary material quality and refined craftsmanship. Woven from the purest natural silk, this piece displays the characteristic depth and luminosity that make fine Persian silk rugs so desirable. A rare silk Kashan rug in very good condition. Made from the purest natural silk from Iran. From the first impression the intense colour composition immediately stands out. The field is filled with rich floral ornamentation and develops a remarkable dialogue between deep reds, luminous blue highlights and delicate ivory outlines. The composition feels both powerful and balanced and reflects the confidence and sophistication of classical Kashan workshops in their use of colour and proportion. Particularly striking is the finely executed border which frames the field elegantly and adds additional visual depth. Numerous floral motifs appear with exceptional precision and create an almost weightless decorative rhythm. The natural silk surface produces changing reflections depending on light conditions and enhances the richness of the drawing. The excellent surface texture further highlights the quality of the weaving and allows intricate details to remain visible. This rug belongs to a tradition where the highest standards of craftsmanship and material selection have been maintained across generations. The condition remains very good. Fringes are present and the surface retains the elegant character typical of high quality natural silk. As a rarity this piece works equally well as a refined interior statement and as a collector’s object for admirers of classical Persian silk weaving.
