This antique Persian Kashan prayer rug dates from 1920 and is hand-knotted from wool and cotton. The piece displays a central cream field featuring a pointed mihrab arch filled with dense floral vase motifs, a tree of life design, and fine flowers radiating upwards from a decorative base. A wide crimson and navy border surrounds the central field with an ornate botanical design. Fringes finish both ends of the carpet, and the wool pile shows very slight even wear across the surface. Measuring 205 cm high, 131 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, the carpet is suitable for normal domestic use in a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The traditional palette of crimson, cream, and navy integrates easily into a variety of period and traditional interior schemes as a floor covering.

FAQs

Kashan prayer rugs originated in the city of Kashan in central Persia, renowned for producing high-knot-density textiles featuring an arched niche design known as a mihrab, frequently filled with detailed floral or tree-of-life motifs.

These carpets are hand-knotted using fine wool pile securely bound onto a durable cotton warp and weft foundation, resulting in a dense weave and clear pattern definition.

Authentic early 20th-century Kashan rugs exhibit asymmetrical Persian knots, a supple structure, rich natural dyes, and classic motifs such as central vases, floral foliage, and intricate multi-band borders.

A Persian prayer rug can serve as a focal point on polished floorboards, be wall-mounted as decorative textile art, or be layered over plain natural carpets to introduce depth and pattern.

Rotate the carpet annually to distribute wear evenly, vacuum gently without a suction brush bar, address spills immediately using damp absorbent cloths, and seek specialist cleaning for deep maintenance.
