ABOUT
The city of Kashan, among the most esteemed Persian rug-weaving centres, first rose to prominence in the 16th Century under the Safavid Dynasty. These workshops earned a reputation for producing many of the most highly sought-after rugs of the Classical period and continued their work into the early 20th Century.
This Circa 1930s Kashan Carpet is an exquisite example of its type. With an understated design drawing on 17th-century motifs with a vine pattern repeating creatively across the piece, rendered in a palette of gracefully aged vegetable-dyed wools in earthy hues, unique amongst Kashan carpets of its period; grey, caramel, and chestnut accents are set upon an ivory field, framed by a broad, well-proportioned border. A particularly attractive feature is the uniformity of colour and design in the frame and the field, lending a feeling of balance and a quiet formality to the work.
Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, with its original borders and fringes preserved on all sides.
A stylish carpet, with the versatility to blend seemlessly in both classic and contemporary interiors.
