Kachan Iran Rug 310 X 208 Cm

Iranian kurk wool rug (fine lamb's wool), cotton warp and weft, circa 1960. Very good condition. Strong and durable carpet that can withstand intensive traffic.

The achievements of Kashan began during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732) and particularly under the reign of Shah Abbas. Very beautiful traditional medallion kachan, in mian farsh format, recalling the academic achievements of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732). During the reign of Shahs Abbas (1588-1629), schools were created to train Ustads (Master Weavers) who made carpet boxes. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition by reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic or bas-relief motifs (Persepolis)...

This kachan is the very example of this tradition. . In the center, two blue and beige medallions are inserted into a navy blue medallion. Four spandrels, reminiscent of the central medallion, as well as borders with a 'herati' or 'samovari' (flowers) motif frame the field of the carpet, which consists of a multitude of flowers and foliage on a deep red background.
