This Persian Kashan represents one of the enduring classics of Persian carpet weaving. An elegant central medallion sits in a rich red field filled with intricate flowers and scrolling stems, all framed by a beautifully detailed dark blue border. The balance between the medallion, the surrounding flowers and the border gives the carpet its graceful, composed presence.
The pattern belongs to the Shah Abbasi tradition, associated with the flowering of Persian carpet design during the Safavid era, particularly the 16th and 17th centuries. The name recalls Shah Abbas I and his patronage of the arts, while the designs themselves reflect the creativity of generations of artists and weavers.
Kashan, in central Persia, is a historic city whose bazaars and workshops prospered through the caravan trade. Nearby, the ancient mounds of Tepe Sialk preserve evidence of settlement reaching back to the sixth millennium BC, a reminder of the extraordinary depth of human history in this region.
Woven with good quality wool and beautifully coloured yarn on a cotton foundation, this is a decorative carpet that can give a room elegance and character, while bringing with it a connection to one of Persia's great artistic traditions.
