Antique Kashan Persian Silk Rug with All-Over Floral Pattern

This antique 4×6 Persian rug is a rare hand-knotted silk piece, believed to originate from the Isfahani city of Kashan circa 1890-1900.

On the Design: 

Its design enjoys an elaborate all-over floral pattern with many rich and vibrant hues atop an ivory undertone. Keen eyes will admire the sheer range of colors, though it favors burgundy, chocolate brown, and navy blue in particular. The silk further lends a luxurious natural sheen that sits beautifully in the light. This item is an extremely collectible piece in all its elements that rather exemplifies the standards of regal Kashani rugs.

On the Condition: 

This antique Persian rug hosts some wear consistent with a turn-of-the-century piece, and may be better suited to the wall.
