Description

Feast your eyes in the artistry of this truly amazing and rare Vintage Persian Joshegan Kashan Room Size Rug, meticulously hand-knotted in 1920s Iran. Hailing from the town of Joshegan, located southwest of Kashan, this rug is a masterpiece of traditional weaving, distinguished by its unique and highly sought-after design.

This beautiful Joshegan rug features an all-over "weeping willow" pattern, a motif also known as the “Tree of Life”. This design consists of interconnected, sub-geometric forms, primarily diamond shapes, rendered in a repeating fashion across the entire field. The design is brought to life with a stunning color palette of vibrant red, serene French blue, deep dark blue, and touches of green, cream, and pink, creating a harmonious and visually complex tapestry.

What makes this rug exceptionally rare and desirable is its luminous ivory color background, a backdrop not commonly found in Joshegan weavings. This unique field color beautifully highlights the weeping willow and Tree of Life motifs, allowing the intricate details to truly shine.

The rug's composition is elegantly enclosed by a striking rectilinear palmette Meander border, which is flanked by both inner and outer double guard bands and subsidiary crenelated fence border stripes. This sophisticated border provides a perfect frame for the central design, showcasing the incredible skill and attention to detail of the weaver.
