Classical Kashan floral and medallion drawing is rendered at a fine 150 KPSI density, giving this hand-knotted traditional rug an exceptionally detailed decorative presence. A warm beige and tan canvas meets a striking maroon border, animated by jewel-toned notes of gold, turquoise, teal, and red that keep the formal layout feeling alive rather than static. Hand tied from high-grade wool and lustrous silk over a durable cotton warp, the rug offers a finely articulated, supremely soft surface built to last for generations in living rooms, dining areas, and formal spaces. Slight tonal shifts and changes in pile direction are inherent to handwork, and they give the surface a movement and depth that a machine-made rug lacks. Its silk accents catch the light at close range, rewarding rooms where the rug will actually be seen and used.
Story Behind the Art: Like many other Persian rugs, Kashan rugs draw their name from the city of their origins, Kashan in Iran. Known for their tight weave and superior craftsmanship, Kashan rugs feature arabesques and flower-stems, palmettos, rosettes, blossom and leaf motifs in very dense patterns of endless or centralized repeats of floral ornamentation. A central medallion with pendant systems enhanced by corner spandrels and repeating floral motifs completes the design. During the 16th century, master weavers and dyers were brought to the area of modern-day Pakistan and India to begin producing very high-quality Kashan design rugs even surpassing some produced in Persia
