This stunning vintage Kashan rug is a rare and magnificent example of Persian artistry, showcasing the refined elegance that Kashan weaving is globally renowned for. What sets this piece apart is its partial silk content, expertly blended into the weave to enhance both its visual brilliance and tactile luxury.
Unlike most Kashan rugs, which are often found in standard sizes and wool-only compositions, this piece features an impressively large format and a generous amount of silk woven throughout, lending the surface a soft sheen and a graceful drape. The silk also enriches the intricate patterns, making every detail stand out with clarity and refinement.
The rug boasts a plush full pile, offering excellent comfort and durability underfoot. Careful tinting techniques have been used to achieve a subtle abrush effect—a characteristic variation in tone that mimics the fluidity of natural light across the rug’s surface. This nuanced color play adds depth, texture, and sophistication to the design, echoing the quality of bespoke, museum-grade pieces.
Crafted by master artisans in Kashan, Central Iran, this rug is not just a floor covering but a true statement piece—an investment in both beauty and heritage. The level of detail, combined with the rare silk content and large dimensions, makes this an exceptional offering for collectors and interior designers alike.
