Kachan Iran Rug 240 X 204 Cm

Iranian kurk wool rug (fine lamb's wool), cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition.

Interesting format for this Kashan rug with a traditional pattern. In the center, a rounded navy blue medallion inserts a beige medallion. Four spandrels recall the central medallion. A wide border with a 'herati' or 'samovari' (flower) motif frames the field of the rug, which is composed of a multitude of flowers and foliage on a deep red background.

A city in central Iran, the creations of Kachan (Kashan) began during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732) and particularly under the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629). Schools were established and Ustads (master weavers) created carpet designs. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition, reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic patterns or bas-reliefs (Persepolis) ... These creations were found in the cities of Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, Meshed, Kerman.
