Originating from Persia, this antique Kashan rug, woven circa 1940, embodies the traditional design elements characteristic of its region. The background of the rug is an amber hue, while the border is rendered in a contrasting blue. The main color throughout the design is yellow, contributing to its striking appearance. Crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, this rug showcases the quality materials and craftsmanship typical of Kashan pieces.

Kashan, a historical city in Persia (modern Iran), is renowned for its long-standing tradition of rug weaving, which dates back over centuries. The city has been occupied for over 9,000 years, evolving into a significant center for silk production during the Safavid era. While this particular rug is made from wool, the expertise and meticulous techniques honed over generations are evident in its construction.

The design intricacies of the rug highlight central medallions surrounded by a myriad of floral and botanical motifs. These elements are consistently placed within multiple borders and corner emblems, often depicting detailed imagery of birds and flowers. Traditional Persian themes are prevalent in these patterns, with arabesques and intertwining tendrils being common features. This design intricacy is synonymous with the work of Hadji Mullah Mohammed Hassan Mohtasham, whose rugs are benchmark examples of Kashan artistry.

Color plays a significant role in this rug’s appeal, featuring a prominent yellow main color that stands out against the amber background and blue borders. These hues are complemented by intricate detailing within the pattern, adding depth and richness to the visual experience.

The borders of the rug exhibit a meticulous structure; the outer border is predominantly blue with intricate cream and beige floral patterns that frame the rug effectively. The inner borders contain repeating small floral motifs, delicately executed with shades of blue and beige echoing the larger outer border.

Symmetry is a defining feature of this Kashan rug. It maintains balance along both vertical and horizontal axes, fundamental to traditional Persian rugs which emphasize harmony and proportional design. The high density of the patterning, with minimal negative space, contributes to a rich and opulent look, drawing the viewer's eye across the entirety of the rug and emphasizing the complexity of the motifs.

The central medallion serves as a focal point within the rug, further enhancing its traditional aesthetic. Its shape and placement align with classical Persian rug design, accentuating the overall symmetry and detailed craftsmanship of the piece.

This antique wool on cotton Kashan rug is a fine representation of Persian weaving art that highlights the historical and artistic significance of rugs from this renowned region. Its detailed design, material quality, and traditional color palette make it a valuable example of mid-20th century Kashan rug production.

Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.

I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!

Susan

Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.

In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!

Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
