Rooted in refined Persian inspired craftsmanship, this 8'9" x 12' hand knotted wool Indo Kashan rug is distinguished by its high, plush pile of approximately 0.75, a durable cotton foundation, and a luxurious plush pile with a velvety soft hand feel. Woven in the traditional Indo Kashan style, the rug balances decorative richness with everyday livability, making it a sophisticated foundation for larger interiors.The design unfolds across a luminous ivory and beige field, which serves as a calm visual ground and allows the detailing to remain crisp and legible. From this base, scrolling floral vines extend symmetrically outward, forming the structural framework of the rug. These vines are rendered primarily in sage green and soft blue, colors traditionally associated with growth, renewal, and balance, and they guide the eye gently across the surface without visual congestion. The primary floral palmettes and rosettes are articulated in blush and muted pink, introducing warmth and softness while maintaining elegance. These blossoms are strategically placed to create rhythm and continuity rather than a single dominant focal point, a hallmark of Kashan design. Taupe tones are used within secondary petals and outlining, lending subtle depth and preventing the lighter palette from appearing flat. Carefully placed rust accents appear within select floral centers and detailing, adding contrast and grounding the composition with an earthy richness. Framing the field, the wide decorative border repeats the ivory beige base, using blush, blue, sage, and taupe in a more concentrated rhythm.

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.
