This early twentieth century palace size Persian Kashan rug originates from 1920 in a traditional Persian style. Hand-knotted from wool and cotton, the floor covering displays a rich crimson red field filled with intricate floral arabesques, Shah Abbas palmettes, and a prominent central medallion. The textile is framed by an ornate compound floral border in navy blue, pale gold, and terracotta tones, showing even wear to the pile alongside minor marks on the underside. Measuring 453 cm high by 368 cm wide, the piece commands significant floor space in an expansive interior setting. In a contemporary home, this large decorative carpet suits placement in a principal reception room, drawing room, or grand hallway with an English Country House design vibe. The traditional motifs and deep red palette anchor large open rooms, pairing well with polished timber floorboards or neutral stone surfaces while providing warmth and historical character underfoot.

FAQs

Kashan rugs originate from central Iran and are renowned for high knot density, central medallion designs, and intricate floral arabesque motifs, typically executed on crimson fields with contrasting navy and cream borders.

Authentic Kashan carpets are hand-knotted using high-grade wool pile woven onto a durable cotton foundation, utilising asymmetric Persian knots to create precise, complex patterns.

Authentic pieces exhibit subtle natural variations in dye tones known as abrash, a soft and flexible back revealing visible knot structures, and balanced floral designs surrounding a central diamond medallion.

A palace-size Persian rug anchors large living or dining areas, offering textural depth and structural pattern that grounds modern minimalist furniture and neutral colour schemes.

Vacuum regularly using suction only without a rotating beater bar, rotate the rug annually to equalise wear, and engage specialist rug restorers for periodic dry cleaning.
