This handwoven rug from Kashan, in an Afshan design with Shah-Abbasi floral motifs, measures 300 × 410 cm (9'10" × 13'5") with an area of 12.3 m² (132.40 ft²), and with a weaving density of approximately 2,500 knots/dm², it lends a distinctive elegance to any space. The Afshan pattern is one of the most beloved in Persian carpet weaving: a layout where flowers, branches, and leaves are freely and non-centrally scattered across the field—like a vibrant nature that flows with delicate harmony and rhythm through the warp and weft of the rug. In this piece, Shah-Abbasi motifs with graceful curves and precise proportions impart a regal and majestic spirit. A light cream ground offers a calm, classic appearance, harmoniously paired with a subtle beige border to form a pleasing, balanced composition. These tones blend effortlessly with both classical and contemporary interiors. A wool pile with a strong cotton warp ensures softness, durability, and lasting quality over the years.
