Woven in the 1940s, this hand-knotted wool rug brings a regal, refined aesthetic ideal for formal interiors or elegant living spaces.

About Kashan Rugs

Kashan rugs are among the most celebrated of Persian city weavings, often distinguished by their high knot counts, precise symmetry, and classical Persian motifs. These rugs frequently feature medallion-and-corner layouts, with flowing arabesques, palmettes, and floral vines rendered in finely knotted wool. Kashan emerged as a major weaving center during the Safavid period and remained a hub of quality production well into the 20th century. Their durability and rich artistic tradition make them a lasting investment for any serious collector or design enthusiast.
