Rare Antique Handwoven Carpet, Corner Medallion Layout, Wool on Cotton Warp, Kashan, 134 × 198 cm Ref 10200039
This antique Kashan rug, rectangular in form and measuring 134 × 198 cm (4'5" × 6'6") with an area of 2.66 m² (28.63 ft²), is a testament to the superb precision of Kashan’s master artisans—refinement passed down through generations and immortalized in its weave. The classical medallion-and-corner design offers a stately reimagining of an inner, enigmatic garden: a radiant central medallion gleams within a navy field, while the four corner spandrels, adorned with poetic floral vocabulary, complete the composition. Both the field and the border are rendered in navy, an astute choice that creates visual depth and striking unity, drawing the eye immediately to the center. Crafted in soft wool with a cotton warp, this piece is an authentic choice for interiors with an Eastern spirit and cultivated taste. With a weaving density of approximately 5,100 knots/dm², it balances finesse and structure with compelling, time-honored craftsmanship.
