Description

Persian silk rugs have a magic of their own. The combination of fine glossy silk and intricate designs combined with exquisite colouring can be very alluring. This lovely silk Kashan rug certainly fits the bill. The weave is fine with a very velvety silk pile. The rose medallion on the mid-blue background in the field is very elegant and is surrounded by flowering vines and blossoms which are contained within ivory spandrels. The mid-blue border matches the field colour, an unusual feature, and is decorated with palmettes and leaves. The entire composition is highly elegant, and a delight for the eye.. In very good condition, and professionally cleaned. This rug would enhance any decorative setting and could work equally well on a floor or wall.

Date of Manufacture

Kashan rugs originate from the city of Kashan in central Iran, a historical centre for silk production and master weavers dating back to the Safavid dynasty. These carpets are internationally recognised for their extremely high knot density, intricate floral motifs, and sophisticated use of natural dyes.

Authentic antique Kashans typically feature fine silk or wool piles hand-knotted onto cotton or silk foundations using asymmetric Persian knots. The exceptional craftsmanship results in a supple handle, complex medallion designs, and remarkable durability despite the delicate materials.

Authentication involves examining the knot density on the reverse, the presence of natural abrash in the dye lots, and the quality of the foundation fibres. Genuine pieces exhibit characteristic central medallions, curvilinear floral vines, and crisp detailing that machine-made reproductions cannot replicate.

An antique oriental carpet acts as a foundational anchor in contemporary spaces, providing textural contrast and rich colour palettes. Interior designers frequently layer these textiles over neutral floorboards to ground minimalist furniture or complement traditional decor schemes.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional organic washing every few years, and avoiding direct sunlight to prevent dye fading. Using a breathable underlay protects the pile from friction and extends the lifespan of the textile.
