Celeste Rugs 5'7"x8'9" Hand Knotted Traditional Kashan 150 KPSI Tan, Aqua Wool & Silk Area Rug

Silk adds a soft glow to this hand-knotted wool and silk Kashan rug, which sets a rose and coral medallion on an ivory field. The rug features fine vines and flowers in coral, rose, and blue across the center, with a wide taupe-beige border full of blossoms. The weave is tied at 150 knots per square inch, which keeps the pile smooth and the drawing fine. This traditional Kashan rug has a Persian-style layout and delicate pattern.

Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.

Construction: Hand-knotted from a blend of wool and silk, chosen for the durability of the wool paired with the soft luster of silk.

Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the pile looking its best.

Story Behind the Art: Like many other Persian rugs, Kashan rugs draw their name from the city of their origins, Kashan in Iran. Known for their tight weave and superior craftsmanship, Kashan rugs feature arabesques and flower-stems, palmettos, rosettes, blossom and leaf motifs in very dense patterns of endless or centralized repeats of floral ornamentation. A central medallion with pendant systems enhanced by corner spandrels and repeating floral motifs completes the design. During the 16th century, master weavers and dyers were brought to the area of modern-day Pakistan and India to begin producing very high-quality Kashan design rugs even surpassing some produced in Persia
