Kashmar Rug – Shah Era – Circa 1920 - Wool on cotton – 300 × 400 cm

A magnificent Persian Kashmar rug dating from the 1920s, crafted during the Shah era. Handwoven from high-quality wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, it showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the Kashmar workshops, renowned for the finesse of their weaving and the richness of their floral designs.

This design features a spectacular multi-lobed central medallion in shades of deep red, ivory, and blue, delicately set against a midnight blue field of remarkable ornamental density. The design is enlivened by a lush arrangement of foliage, palmettes, stylized flowers, and arabesques, executed with great precision. The celadon-blue spandrels provide an elegant visual respite and highlight the composition’s perfect balance.

The wide ivory border, richly decorated with floral and plant motifs, harmoniously frames the central field and reinforces the majestic character of this piece. The color palette, dominated by deep blues, madder reds, ivories, and touches of turquoise, offers beautiful depth and a patina that underscore its authenticity.

With its generous dimensions of 300 × 400 cm, this rug is an ideal focal piece for a large living room, library, or dining room. Its classic and timeless design fits equally well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

This antique rug captivates with the delicacy of its design, the quality of its weaving, and the elegance of its colors, making it a true work of textile art and an iconic collector’s piece emblematic of early 20th-century Kashmar production.
