Fine Silk Kashan Rug, Central Persia, Circa 1910, 2.01m X 1.22m

1900 - 1920
Description

This beautiful silk Kashan rug is an exceptional example of early 20th century Persian rug weaving. The silk quality is superb - soft, velvety and very tactile. The weave is fine, around 65 knots per square centimeter. But it is the design and colour combination which really identify this piece as special. Ostensibly, it seems like a classic medallion and spandrels design, but closer inspection reveals a master work. The fuchsia pendant medallion is elegantly drawn and floats above a sapphire blue field of myriad flowers, leaves and meandering vines, while the fuchsia main border is filled with repeating palmettes and botehs drawn in a graceful and poetic manner. It's a delightful composition. However, it is the details of this piece, in particular the superb secondary colours such as the golds, greens and light blues, that sparkle and bring this rug to life. Note, especially, the small flowers. Personal viewing is recommended. Cherished through the generations, it has survived in excellent condition.

FAQs

Kashan silk rugs from central Persia, particularly those woven around the turn of the 20th century, are characterized by their high knot density, lustrous silk pile, and classical medallion designs. They feature detailed curvilinear florals, spandrels, and multi-band borders, reflecting centuries of Persian court weaving tradition.

Fine Kashan carpets are woven using silk or high-grade wool on a silk or cotton warp and weft foundation. Artisans employ the asymmetrical (Persian or Senneh) knot to achieve high detail resolution in intricate floral and palmette motifs.

Authentic period pieces exhibit precise knotting visible on the reverse, natural dye variations (abrash), and traditional colour palettes dominated by crimson, navy, and gold. The pile height is low, and the weave structure displays fine silk foundation threads.

A fine silk rug functions as a focal grounding element in formal sitting rooms, study spaces, or reception halls. Modern designers pair these classic textiles with understated minimalist furniture or neutral timber flooring to allow the intricate pattern and rich palette to stand out.

Silk rugs require gentle care, avoiding high-traffic areas and direct exposure to intense sunlight. Regular light surface cleaning with a soft brush or suction-only vacuum prevents dust settling, while professional specialist washing is recommended for spot treatment and preservation.
