Kashan Vintage Rug
315 × 434 cm · Sage-Green Ground, Signed Medallion
A palatial vintage Kashan on a sage-green ground, hand-knotted in fine wool and signed with a woven cartouche.
Provenance and Weaving Tradition
Hand-knotted in the weaving city of Kashan in central Iran, this is a finely drawn carpet in the classical Kashan tradition. Kashan lies on an old Silk Road route and has a long weaving history.
The piece is signed with a woven cartouche in the upper border — the mark of a named workshop. It is worked in wool on a cotton foundation at approximately 250,000 knots per m² (approx. 161 kpsi), with the precise, drawing-led articulation typical of Kashan: small blossoms, leaf veins and slender tendrils rendered cleanly across a very large field.
Colour and Composition
The carpet's defining quality is its soft sage-green ground — an unusual colour for a Kashan, calm and luminous where many are red or ivory. At the centre sits a round floral medallion in light blue and ivory with a salmon-and-copper lattice core, issuing pendants top and bottom; large ivory cloud-band spandrels anchor the corners, and between them runs a finely drawn floral field of palmettes, rosettes and curling vine.
The palette is gentle and harmonious: sage green and ivory carry soft and navy blues, salmon and copper, and small accents of red and green. A broad celadon main border of palmettes, framed by ivory guard borders, completes a composition of quiet restraint.
Presence in the Room
At 315 × 434 cm (13.7 m²) this is a palace-format carpet for large rooms. Three contexts in which it comes into its own:
- Reception room or grand salon: the sage-green ground keeps a large room calm and bright while anchoring full seating groups around the central medallion.
- Formal dining room or library: under a long table or in a panelled room, the soft palette and fine drawing reward close looking from every seat.
- Hall or open-plan space: the ground colour and classical drawing bring historical depth and a quiet focal point to a large interior.
