This semi-antique Persian Kashan rug displays a classic central medallion with elaborate floral arabesques and layered petals in red, blue, and ivory on a gentle sage green field. Dense scrolling vines, palmettes, and small floral sprays fill the space around the medallion in a rich, symmetrical all-over pattern. Multiple wide borders feature repeating floral garlands, intricate corner spandrels, and narrow guard bands with detailed motifs in contrasting red and blue, creating a luxurious, finely balanced composition with a signed border that reads “Kashan Ahari.”
Kashan rugs from the early to mid-20th century are renowned for their high knot density, velvet-like wool pile, and intricate floral designs inspired by classical Persian court carpets. Natural dyes produce the soft green ground and vibrant accents that develop a refined patina over time. This signed example showcases the famous detailed drawing and excellent craftsmanship typical of quality Kashan weavings, remaining in superb condition.
Ideal for large living rooms, formal dining areas, or master bedrooms where it can serve as the room’s centerpiece under substantial furniture. The sage green field with rich floral details brings elegance and warmth, pairing beautifully with traditional or classic decor. Its fine wool construction offers a plush feel underfoot and lasting durability for high-use spaces.
