Large Persian Oriental carpet Kāshmar Iran: 380 X 290 cm - Galerie Sardje

The city of Kāshmar, located in the province of Khorassan, is renowned for its carpets of unparalleled fineness and ornamental richness. This model, likely dating from the mid-20th century, is a perfect example of this tradition. The central field, in a deep and rich blue, is adorned with a complex and refined polylobed medallion, from which floral scrolls emerge. The design is distinguished by its perfect symmetry and abundance of details, notably featuring elegant vase motifs (symbols of prosperity) and stylised birds (birds of paradise or 'Simurgh', symbols of wisdom and protection). These elements are harmoniously integrated into an intertwined floral and scroll structure, creating a lively and balanced composition. The borders, also highly intricate, echo the motifs of vases and birds in a colour palette dominated by turquoise blue, madder red, burnt orange, and cream, magnificently framing the central field. The carpet is in fairly good overall condition, with vibrant colours. Its size makes it an ideal piece to enhance a large living room, a formal dining room, or a library, bringing warmth, character, and a touch of history.
