A classic hand knotted Kashan rug woven in fine wool with a 0.5 inch pile, this piece embodies the rich tradition of Persian artistry with its luminous red field and intricate central medallion framed by indigo and ivory detailing. Accents of gold, orange, and blue bring vibrancy and depth to the floral motifs and arabesque patterns that gracefully unfold across the composition. The harmonious balance of bold color and meticulous craftsmanship makes this rug a timeless statement piece, equally suited for elegant traditional interiors or as a striking accent in contemporary settings.

About the art: Like many other Persian rugs, Kashan rugs draw their name from the city of their origins, Kashan in Iran. Known for their tight weave and superior craftsmanship, Kashan rugs feature arabesques and flower stems, palmettos, rosettes, blossom and leaf motifs in very dense patterns of endless or centralized repeats of floral ornamentation. A central medallion with pendant systems enhanced by corner spandrels and repeating floral motifs completes the design. During the 16th century, master weavers and dyers were brought to the area of modern day Pakistan and India to begin producing very high quality Kashan design rugs even surpassing some produced in Persia
