Shah Abbas fields take their name from a Mogul ruler who significantly contributed to the rise of Persian textile art in the 16th and 17th centuries. Shah Abbas fields, which are used in a variety of Persian designs, contain a series of curvilinear floral forms, creating a garden-like background. They are found either in an all-over format or with a central medallion. Like many other Persian designs, the Kashan rug design takes its name from the city of its origin (found in modern-day Iran). Hailing from one of Iran’s oldest cities, Kashan, these Persian masterpieces first adorned homes and palaces as early as the 16th century.  Undeniably referenced as the most glorious and beautiful of all Persian rugs, the Kashan range encapsulates much history. Please view the pics carefully to fully appreciate this truly magnificently composed Kashan Persian carpet and to confirm the condition.
