The city of Kashan, among the best-known and highly-ranked Persian rug-weaving centers, first rose to prominence in the 16th Century, under the Safavid Dynasty. These workshops earned a reputation for producing many of the most highly sought-after rugs of the Classical period and continued their work into the early 20th Century.

This elegant example bears the signature of a well-known Master Weaver workshop that created some of the most high-end rugs of its generation. Its muted vegetable-dyed colours and simple pattern, in comparison to other examples of its era, lend the work a sense of sophistication and balance. Dating to the 1940s, this piece has a pleasant influence of the Mid-Century Modern design ethos, bridging classical motifs with the sensibilities of its era; the mark of a truly talented artist.

Retained in very good to excellent condition for everyday use, preserving its original outer borders on all sides.

A timeless example that would make a wonderful addition to a contemporary or classic setting.
