Rare Antique Handwoven Carpet, Mihrab Layout, All Silk, Kashan, 204 × 308 cm Ref 10600098

This antique Kashan rug in a mihrab design, crafted entirely in all-silk souf, embodies Iranian refinement and a deep spiritual sensibility. With its raised weave, it is more than a rug—an interplay of motif and light on a verdant ground that invites contemplative admiration. Measuring 204 × 308 cm (6'8" × 10'1") with an area of 6.29 m² (67.70 ft²), it is created for settings where art and grandeur meet; where a rug is not merely a floor covering but a symbol of beauty’s presence. Featuring approximately 6,200 knots/dm², the precise and delicate construction allows the floral details and graceful mihrab curves to be rendered with the utmost finesse. The use of all-silk souf, whose distinctive weave makes the elements stand in relief, turns this piece into a living, sculptural work in which the mihrab gains renewed spiritual radiance. The green field and border impart a tranquil, devotional aura—reminiscent of everlasting gardens and a glimpse of paradise.
