A Fine Antique Persian Kashan Rug
Most antique Kashan rugs available on the market today date from the late 19th century or later, when the rug industry saw a revival. These carpets are generally of area or room sizes in a somewhat formal and conservative style, often with an oval central medallion with prolongations such as lamps hanging on each side, and spandrels in the corners, with floral motifs typically covering the field. All-over patterns and pictorial designs are common as well. The wool is usually of high-grade. The knots are asymmetric and typically fine. The pile is of medium length, while the dyes are of excellent quality with diverse colours, although reds and browns are typically dominant.
