CL20302
Woven in the bold architectural tradition of Indo Heriz carpets, this 5'10'' × 8'10'' hand-knotted wool rug features a medium 0.50-inch pile on a cotton foundation. A saturated red field establishes a strong visual anchor, ideal for interiors that benefit from structure and contrast.
The central geometric medallion is composed of angular forms in navy, charcoal, and ivory, accented with soft aqua and muted green highlights that temper the intensity of the red ground. Stepped corner spandrels and a geometric border echo the medallion’s structure, reinforcing the rug’s architectural rhythm. Known for durability and timeless design, this Heriz-style Oriental rug works well in living rooms, dining areas, or offices with traditional or eclectic décor.

Story Behind the Art: Indo-Kashan rugs are Indian-woven interpretations of the legendary Kashan carpets of Iran, whose origins trace back to the lavish Safavid court workshops of the 16th century. Today, these rugs are produced in renowned Indian weaving centers such as Jaipur and Bhadohi, where artisans preserve the formal elegance and symmetry of Persian Kashan designs. Most Indo-Kashan rugs feature the classic medallion-and-corner layout, with a diamond-shaped central medallion surrounded by dense floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques. Some designs showcase the Shah Abbas all-over floral pattern, offering a richly decorated field without a dominant focal point. Hand-knotted with wool piles over cotton foundations and typically woven at 150–250 knots per square inch, higher-quality Indo-Kashans often incorporate New Zealand wool and silk accents to enhance sheen and depth, making them timeless Oriental area rugs for traditional interiors.
