A fine Kashan carpet, dating to c. 1930, with a muted ivory field and earthy tones in its drawing.
ABOUT
The city of Kashan, among the best-known and highly-ranked 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 Kashan carpet is a high-end workshop weaving of the 1930s – an elegant example, featuring simplified design characteristics of earlier 17th Century weavings, with cornflower blue and muted hazelnut accents, over a soft ivory ground, framed by a wide, muted earth-tone border. Despite dating to the 1930s, this rug has a surprisingly modern aesthetic sensibility.
Retained in very good practical condition for everyday use, with its original borders and fringes preserved on all sides.
A stylish carpet, with an understated elegance that would lend itself equally to a classic or contemporary interior.
