Kashan rugs have long been considered some of Persia’s finest weavings, and it’s easy to see why. The city of Kashan has been producing exceptional rugs for centuries, known for their refined drawing, balanced floral designs, and remarkably fine weave.
This 1940s example is full of those classic qualities. The navy field is layered with every shade of blue imaginable…from soft powder blue, and slate to dusty sky blue and mixed with warm ivory, hints of blush, pink and touches of yellow throughout. The finer weave allows all of the floral details to really come to life with art that is sharp.
The medallion is elegant and prominent, and the floral vine work flow effortlessly all throughout the piece. The low wool pile remains strong and the rug has been well cared for over the years. This Persian will be hard wearing and durable. It has light scattered wear…it’s in really nice condition. If you’re drawn to blues and curvilinear art, this one is a great catch.
