Soft color, fine detail and a gentle sheen are what you get with this tan and aqua Kashan rug. Tied by hand from wool and silk at 150 KPSI, it is a traditional Oriental area rug featuring a coral and rose medallion against an ivory field, with delicate sprays of vines and flowers drifting around it in blue, rose and coral. A taupe-beige border full of blossoms ties the look together, and a fringe of ivory trims the ends. Silk gives the pile its lustre, and the smooth, fine weave feels lovely to the touch. Reserve it for gentle everyday living, and a soft pass with the vacuum, beater bar off, will keep the fibers smooth. It looks right in a living room, a bedroom, a home office or a dining room, particularly where taupe, cream and pale blue are already part of the decor. If a delicate pattern is what draws you in, this Persian-style design offers an easygoing charm that suits both formal and relaxed spaces.

Story Behind the Art: Kashan rugs originate from the city of Kashan in Iran, celebrated for tightly woven carpets and meticulous craftsmanship. The pattern language is dense and richly layered, built from arabesques, flower stems, palmettes, rosettes, and blossom-and-leaf motifs arranged around a central medallion framed by pendant details and decorative corner spandrels. When 16th-century master weavers brought this tradition to the area of modern-day Pakistan and India, they produced Kashan-design rugs of a quality that could rival those made in Persia, helping this intricate, finely woven style spread well beyond its city of origin.
