Persian Kashans are one of the most well-known Persian rug types and are famed for their large central medallions and floral patternation. Reds, blues and creams are the most common colour palette, but they are also woven with predominant blue, green and cream colours. This Vintage Kashan Rug was woven in fine wool, with silk used for highlighting the floral patterns. Both fibres are of excellent quality and combined with the weavers' skill, this rug is highly durable. In very good condition, the rug only has minor wear to the fringes.
With such an ornate mix of intricate flowers and palmettes, the rich colours of this Vintage Part Silk Kashan Rug are best placed in traditional settings with floral features. Dining, living, and bedrooms are suitable spaces for such a piece.
