Timeless Persian artistry finds new expression in this hand-knotted Indo Kashan that celebrates centuries of weaving mastery with breathtaking precision. Against a luminous ivory field, a symmetrical garden of stylized blooms unfolds in exquisite detail in coral-rose palmettes radiating from graceful green vines, while sapphire blue rosettes punctuate the composition with jewel-like intensity. The central medallion anchors the design with classical elegance, its floral heart blooming outward in perfect symmetry that speaks to the mathematical harmony inherent in traditional Persian motifs. What distinguishes this piece is the striking midnight blue border, densely populated with its own intricate tapestry of flowers and foliage in coral, cream, and forest green, creating a dramatic frame that elevates the serene central field into something truly extraordinary. The hand-knotted construction ensures exceptional density and durability, with cotton foundation threads providing structural integrity that will endure for generations. Whether placed as an accent or anchoring an intimate space, this Indo Kashan brings the soul of Persian design into your home.

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.
