Kashan Iran Rug 295 X 200 Cm
Iranian Kurk wool rug, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition.
Beautiful and elegant Kashan (or Kachan) rug, in the "mian farsh" format, with a traditional and timeless motif reminiscent of the academic works of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732). Against an ivory background stand out a medallion, richly worked gray spandrels and borders, enhanced by a multitude of floral motifs.
During the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629), schools and workshops were established where Ustads (Master Weavers) produced rug designs. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition, reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic motifs, and bas-reliefs (Persepolis). These creations could be found in the cities of Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, Mashhad, and Kerman.
From 1936, at the initiative of Reza Pahlavi Shah, until the mid-20th century, the Iranian state established a subsidized institution to preserve ancient and traditional designs. These carpets are called 'Sherkat Farsh,' which can be translated as 'state carpets,' and this institution helped safeguard and transmit the know-how and tradition of Persian carpet making.
