Description

Silk Kashan rugs are among the finest and most appealing of the so-called Persian city rugs. This example was woven in the early 20th century. The taupe background in the field is centred by a teardrop medallion which is surrounded by arabesques, leaves and other floral ornaments. Unusually, the spandrels are very different to the medallion with floral elements on a mid-blue background. The abrashed border varies in shades of red from a rich scarlet, to purples and pinks, and is filled with beautifully drawn birds and deers, and more floral ornaments. The angular drawing of the design, particularly in the field, is reminiscent of earlier Mokhtashem rugs from which it appears to have taken inspiration. The whole composition exudes sophistication and luxury. Showing some minor signs of wear, it is nevertheless in good usable condition and would make a wonderful wall hanging or addition to your decorative scheme.

Date of Manufacture

Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs has dated this Antique Silk Kashan Rug to the 1910s.

FAQs

Kashan, situated in central Iran, has a centuries-long legacy as a premier centre for textile production, experiencing a major revival during the late 19th and early 20th centuries that produced exceptional silk and wool carpets.

Authentic antique Kashan rugs are traditionally handknotted using fine silk or high-grade wool foundations and piles, often featuring densely packed symmetrical knots and natural vegetable dyes.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the knot density on the reverse, the complexity and precision of the curvilinear medallion designs, the natural abrash in the dye lots, and the quality of the selvedges.

Placing a fine textile like a Kashan rug on timber flooring adds texture and warmth, serving as a focal point in a reception room or study while contrasting against contemporary minimalist furnishings.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialised cleaning every few years, and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading of delicate natural dyes.
