The ancient city of Kashan has been one of Persia’s most celebrated carpet-weaving centres for centuries. Among its many contributions to the art of carpet design, few have achieved the enduring popularity of the pattern created in the early twentieth century by the master designer Dabir ol-Sanaye. More than a century later, it remains one of the most admired and widely recognised designs associated with Kashan.
This example follows that celebrated composition, with its elegant medallion, flowing floral arabesques, and harmonious balance of detail. What sets it apart is its distinctive palette. Unlike many Kashan carpets where rich reds dominate the field, this piece employs soft ivory, grey, and blue tones, creating a refined and understated elegance that feels both timeless and versatile.
Kashan carpets are renowned for their durability, fine craftsmanship, and graceful ageing. Woven from high-quality wool on a strong cotton foundation, they are carpets made to be enjoyed for generations. This is a classic beauty, one that has remained relevant through changing fashions and continues to enrich interiors with its quiet sophistication.
