Antique Kashan Rug

1900 - 1920
Description

An extremely intricate classical antique Kashan rug woven around 1910-1920 in exceptional condition. These rugs were woven with the finest merino wool which is extremely soft to touch and helped the weavers produce these fine and beautifully detailed rugs.  The array of beautiful flowers and larger leaf and flower design is quite remarkable!

In exceptional, as close to perfect condition, you will find an antique Kashan rug.  A stunning and collectable antique rug, rare to find a rug with an off-white background and same colour border.  Kashan rugs tended to favour the rich reds and blues as the primary colours.  This is an uplifting and stunning rug.

Kashan was a centre of silk production since Safavid times and some of the best classical Persian silk rugs have been attributed to Kashan. At the end of the nineteenth century the weavers there began to produce high quality wool rugs and carpets as well, which continued the high standards of design and technique established in the classical era. The very best Kashan carpets are known as Mohtasham.

FAQs

Kashan rugs originate from the historic city of Kashan in central Iran, a renowned center for silk and wool weaving since the Safavid period. These textiles are characterized by precise hand-knotting, dense floral arabesques, and formal symmetry.

Traditional Kashan carpets are constructed with a wool or silk pile knotted onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation. Artisans utilize the asymmetrical Persian knot and natural plant- or mineral-based dyes to create intricate detailed patterns.

Authentic Kashan pieces display a high knot count, a soft wool pile, and a distinct palette often incorporating rich reds, blues, and ivory. The reverse side reveals tight, slightly irregular hand-knotted structure rather than uniform machine stitching.

An antique Persian rug can serve as an anchoring base in a living room or dining area, providing warmth and complex pattern underfoot. It pairs effectively with both dark period wood furniture and streamlined modern furniture to create visual contrast.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to prevent fiber damage. Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean damp cloth, rotate the carpet annually to ensure even wear, and arrange professional cleaning when required.
