Kashan Iran Rug 294 X 196 Cm

Iranian kurk wool rug, cotton warp and weft, 1960-70. Very good state.

Elegant kashan with a traditional and timeless motif reminiscent of the academic achievements of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732). During the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629), schools were created to train Ustads (master weavers) who made carpet cartoons. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition by reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic motifs or bas-reliefs (Persepolis)…

On an ivory field stand out a medallion, spandrels and strong beige borders, enhanced by a multitude of floral motifs in shades of blue. Borders with a 'herati' or 'samovari' (flower) motif frame the field of the rug.
