Emerald 7'8''x10 Indo Kashan Traditional Vase Vintage Hand Knotted Wool Oriental Area Rug

This 7'8''x10'' Indo Kashan hand-knotted rug is crafted from wool with a cotton foundation and finished with a comfortable medium pile that delivers both softness and durability. The design is centered around the iconic Kashan vase motif, symbolizing abundance, life, and renewal. From the central vase form, stylized floral vines rise gracefully and spread outward in precise symmetry across a rich emerald-green field. Ivory, blush, and beige florals soften the saturated ground, while blue and gray accents introduce visual depth and refinement. The surrounding border is densely ornamented with repeating floral medallions and scrolling tendrils that echo the interior motifs, creating a cohesive and balanced composition. This vintage-inspired Kashan rug is ideal for formal living rooms, dining areas, or studies where classic Persian elegance is desired.

Story Behind the Art: Indo-Kashan rugs are an elegant Indian interpretation of the legendary Kashan carpets originally woven for the Safavid courts of 16th-century Iran. Produced today in major Indian weaving centers such as Jaipur and Bhadohi, these hand-knotted wool rugs translate royal Persian design into a form suitable for modern homes. Indo-Kashan rugs are celebrated for their formal balance, classical symmetry, and timeless appeal. Most examples feature the iconic Medallion-and-Corner layout—often compared to a book-cover composition—with a central diamond medallion surrounded by dense floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques. Some variations display the Shah Abbas pattern, an allover floral arrangement without a central medallion. Typically woven at approximately 150 to 250 knots per square inch, these rugs use a wool pile on a cotton foundation. Higher-grade Indo-Kashan rugs frequently incorporate premium New Zealand wool for added softness and sheen, and may include silk highlights that enhance the depth and shimmer of the floral detailing.
