Gracefully woven in the Indo Kashan tradition, this 8' x 10'3" hand knotted wool rug features a high, plush pile of approximatly 0.75 on a cotton foundation, offering a luxuriously velvety soft underfoot feel. Rooted in classical Persian design language, the rug is defined by an elegant botanical composition that emphasizes balance, refinement, and timeless beauty.The design of this Indo Kashan botanical rug is rooted in the classical Persian garden aesthetic, where the rug is conceived as a harmonious, cultivated landscape viewed from above. The field unfolds as a continuous network of interlacing floral vines, carefully balanced to create symmetry without rigidity. The field is rendered in a dusty rose–pink ground, setting a warm and romantic tone. Flowing across this backdrop are delicate floral vines and palmettes, drawn in ivory and beige, which form the structural framework of the design. These scrolling stems are punctuated with blossoms and leaves in aqua and sage green, adding freshness and visual lift, and Fine black detailing is used sparingly to outline select motifs, lending clarity and definition. Framing the interior is a classic Kashan border, predominantly in ivory and beige, adorned with repeating floral sprays and curling vines in pink, aqua, sage, and coral. This border acts as a gentle visual enclosure, enhancing the symmetry and cohesion of the overall design. With its plush pile, refined color layering, and serene floral movement, this rug is especially well suited for bedrooms, formal living rooms, sitting areas, or elegant lounges, where it can add warmth, softness, and a sense of opulence.

Story Behind the Art: Indo Kashan rugs are a sophisticated Indian made tribute to the legendary carpets of Kashan, Iran. While the originals date back to the 16th century Safavid courts, the 'Indo' variety is crafted today in Indian weaving hubs like Jaipur and Bhadohi. They are widely regarded as some of the most classic looking rugs in the world, bringing a sense of royal history into modern homes. Most Indo Kashan rugs follow the famous 'Medallion and Corner' (or Book cover like) layout. They feature a central, diamond shaped medallion surrounded by a field of densely packed floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques. You may also see the "Shah Abbas" field, an all over floral pattern without a central medallion. These rugs are hand knotted (approx. 150–250 knots per square inch) with a 100% wool pile on a cotton foundation. Higher end versions often use premium New Zealand wool for a velvety sheen, sometimes incorporating silk highlights to make the floral patterns shimmer.
