Antique Kashan Rug
135 × 205 cm · Salmon, Orange & Royal Blue
An early 20th-century Kashan from central Iran — hand-knotted in wool with the classical floral medallion vocabulary and a visibly abrash-modulated ground.
Provenance and Knotting Tradition
Kashan, in central Iran, is one of the long-established centres of Persian rug production. The city's knotting tradition reaches back to the Safavid era. The classical Kashan vocabulary — a central floral medallion with corner spandrels and a curling floral inner field — is one of the best-known Persian design families.
This piece was hand-knotted in Kashan, Iran, in the early 20th century, from 100 % wool on a cotton foundation. The composition follows the classical Kashan vocabulary: a lobed central floral medallion in navy anchors the field, framed by navy corner spandrels of dense floral work and a navy main border of palmettes and scrolling vine.
Colour and Composition
The palette is built on a luminous salmon-coral ground carrying a clearly visible abrash — the soft horizontal banding of tone that occurs in hand-knotted rugs when yarn batches vary. Against this ground the medallion and borders are drawn in deep royal blue and navy, with floral detail in ivory, sage-green, light blue, rust-orange and red. Decades of age have mellowed the saturation into a balanced, lived-in register. Beige wool fringes finish the ends.
Presence in the Room
At 135 × 205 cm (2.8 m²) this is a compact room-size piece in the overlap between small and medium. Three contexts in which the antique Kashan comes into its own:
- Living room: anchoring a compact seating group, the salmon-and-blue palette suits interiors built around wood, leather and warm lighting.
- Library or study: beside a writing desk or beneath a reading chair, the floral medallion rewards quiet, repeated viewing.
- Bedroom or dressing area: the salmon ground gives a warm foundation, and the navy accents anchor the composition.
