Heritage and Craftsmanship

The Kashan region stands among Persia's most distinguished carpet-producing centers, celebrated for pieces that combine urban sophistication with exceptional technical precision. These formal workshop rugs reflect centuries of artistic refinement, particularly in their rendering of the iconic Shah Abbas pattern—named for the 16th-century Persian ruler whose patronage helped establish Kashan's weaving reputation.

Design Elements

This exemplary Kashan showcases the classic medallion format with finely balanced symmetry that defines the region's formal aesthetic. Detailed rosettes and elongated arabesques demonstrate the remarkable refinement typical of high-quality Kashan production. The saturated palette and crisp detailing create a stately presence, where every motif appears precisely rendered yet harmoniously integrated into the overall composition.

Placement

The generous 8' 2'' x 11' 6'' dimensions make this rug ideal for traditional dining rooms, formal living spaces, or classical libraries. Its vibrant palette of ruby red, midnight blue, and ivory creates a commanding focal point that pairs beautifully with mahogany furnishings, brass accents, and rich textiles. The formal structure allows it to anchor traditional interiors with visual gravitas and timeless elegance.

Care Recommendations

To preserve the rug's beauty:

  • Rotate periodically for even wear

  • Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting

  • Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing

  • Professional cleaning recommended annually

  • Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity

Persian Kashan rugs represent the sophisticated refinement of classical carpet design. Their balanced compositions and meticulous craftsmanship create pieces that stand as both decorative treasures and collectors' items, bringing historical resonance and artistic distinction to contemporary homes.
