Fine Persian Kashan Large Carpet – Oversize
Rug #2502Fine Persian Kashan Large Carpet – Oversize – Wool – Approx 4.5×3.5m (15x11ft) – Central Medallion – Dark complexion of colour palette on navy base
Kashan used to be the largest city in Central Persia during the 17th Century, and virtually all traffic between Esfahan and the east passed through it. Because of this important location Kashan became the popular stop off point on a bustling trade route during the 17th century Safavid Era. During this era in which carpet weaving flourished in Persia, Kashan developed a reputation as one of the finest weaving centres of the east, and as such, Persian Kashan Rugs produced are of the very finest handmade Persian rugs and carpets. Kashan was a centre of silk production since Safavid times, and some of the finest classical handmade Persian silk rugs have been attributed to Kashan. At the end of the nineteenth century the Persian Kashan weavers began to produce high quality rugs and carpets, as part of the ‘revival’ in the Persian handmade carpet craft, which re-established the high standards of design and technique established in the 17th century classical era. They often incorporate medallion designs, but all over repeat patterns are frequently seen. Pictorial rugs of varying subject matter also feature highly in their design repertoire. The colour palette can be deep and rich in the classical tradition, with shades of red and blue predominant with ivory detailing. Softer colour hues appropriate and in tune with modern décor styles are also prevalent.
Fine Persian Kashan large carpet, in a larger than usual dimension considered oversize, handwoven from wool in Iran. Carpets of this scale are the labour of love due to the intricacy of weaving the exacting patterns and take several years of dedication to complete to such a high quality. This piece features a central medallion and has a dark complexion of colour palette set on a navy base.
