Discover the exquisite charm of this Antique Kashan Rug, a decorative mini rug dating back to the 1940s. Measuring a compact 54 x 65 cm, this rare small-format piece captures the poetic elegance of Persian garden design with remarkable detail and colour.
At the heart of the rug is a lush central bouquet displayed within a classical niche, reminiscent of a mihrab — the architectural feature found in Persian mosques symbolising a window to paradise. The deep navy background is beautifully complemented by coral, ivory, pistachio, and jade hues, creating a painterly effect that draws the eye.
Above the floral motif, a delicate portrayal of a Persian pavilion alongside cypress trees evokes the grandeur of renowned gardens such as Fin Garden near Kashan. This scene adds a palatial touch, enhancing the rug’s storytelling quality.
Crafted from fine kork wool, the velvety pile maintains a soft, luminous texture and highlights the exceptional dye work characteristic of Kashan rugs. Surrounding the central imagery, multi-layered borders featuring floral patterns and stylised vine scrolls provide a balanced rhythm contrasting the stillness of the main design.
This miniature Kashan rug is ideal for collectors or for use as wall art, offering a richly symbolic and timeless piece that reflects Persian craftsmanship at its finest.
