Antique Kashan Rug 206x135cm

This elegant antique Kashan rug is a masterpiece of Persian textile artistry, woven in Central Iran, a region renowned for its refined weaving tradition and exceptional craftsmanship. Its pictorial niche design and remarkable attention to detail make it a rare and highly collectible piece.

At the heart of the rug is a central architectural motif—a beautifully depicted building framed within a rose garland, symbolizing beauty, love, and heritage. This tranquil image is set inside a classic mihrab (niche) structure, complete with ornate pillars on either side and a vase of flowers at the base, creating a layered, almost three-dimensional effect that evokes depth and reverence.

The border is especially noteworthy, combining roses, chrysanthemums, and delicate birds—a combination not often found together in Kashan designs. These elements add a lyrical, almost poetic charm to the composition, elevating it from decorative to truly artistic.

Woven from fine wool with natural dyes, the rug is in excellent condition, making it not only a stunning decorative element but also an exceptional investment for serious collectors.
