Kashan Iran Rug 313 X 218 Cm

Iranian kurk wool carpet (fine lamb's wool), cotton warp and weft, 1960. Very good condition. Strong and durable mat.

Elegant kashan with a traditional and timeless pattern recalling the academic achievements of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732). During the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629), schools were created to train Ustads (master weavers) who made carpet cartons. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition by reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic or bas-relief motifs (Persepolis)…

On an ivory field stand out a medallion, spandrels and strong beige borders, enhanced by a multitude of floral patterns in shades of blue. Borders with a 'herati' or 'samovari' (flowers) pattern frame the area of the carpet.
