Kashan Rugs And Antique Persian Kashan Carpets

Kashan rugs — among the most elegant and collectible Persian carpets — represent centuries of weaving mastery from the city of Kashan, Iran. These hand-knotted treasures feature refined floral motifs, medallion designs, and a luxurious sheen created from the finest kork wool. At Beautiful Rugs in Chicago, we curate exceptional antique and vintage Kashan rugs, each piece a lasting testament to Persian artistry.

The Legacy of Kashan Rug Weaving

Originating in central Iran, Kashan’s weaving tradition dates back to the Golden Age of Persian art under Shah Abbas I (16th–17th century). For generations, master weavers have refined these designs into timeless works of beauty recognized worldwide. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kashan workshops experienced a renaissance, producing museum-quality rugs that remain highly sought-after today.

Kashan Rug Design and Features

Iconic Patterns – Central medallions framed by Shah Abbas’s floral motifs, palmettes, lotus blossoms, and vine scrolls.
Premium Materials – Fine kork wool and cotton foundations, sometimes accented with silk highlights.
Rich Natural Colors – Deep navy, soft red, ivory, and earth tones derived from vegetable dyes.
Exceptional Knot Density – Dense hand-knotted structures that ensure intricate detail and longevity.

Mohtasham and Dabir Kashan Rugs

Among the most prized creations are Mohtasham and Dabir Kashan rugs. These masterpieces, woven from lustrous lamb’s wool, are admired for their luminous pile, delicate weave, and intricate floral or medallion designs. Their rarity and craftsmanship make them cherished heirlooms and excellent investments.
