Item Details

Fine c. 1930s Kashan Carpet

5.70 x 4.10 m

The city of Kashan, among the best-known and highly-ranked Persian rug-weaving centres, first rose to prominence in the 16th Century, under the Safavid Dynasty. These workshops earned a reputation for creating many of the most highly sought-after rugs of the Classical period and continued their work into the early 20th Century.

A high-category Kashan workshop weaving, dating to the 1930s, featuring simplified design characteristics of earlier 17th Century pieces, with a scrolling vine leaf and floral pattern, in tones of denim blue over a smart, neutral grey ground – all in gracefully aged vegetable dyes. One especially attractive feature is the uniformity of colour across the wide border and the central field, rather than the conventional stark contrast – a well-balanced, elegant composition, which gives the work a strikingly modern feel.

Retained in very good condition for everyday use, and a rare find in this large format.

A timeless carpet, with a restrained elegance that would lend itself well to any setting.
