Kashan, Central Persia, circa mid 20th century
Wool pile on cotton foundation, approximately 300 to 400 KPSI
A finely woven Kashan pictorial rug, Bāgh e Parandegān or The Garden of Birds, exemplifies the poetic artistry of mid century Persian weaving. The design centers on a Tree of Life, its branches animated by perched birds and delicate blossoms, a classical Persian motif symbolizing paradise and renewal.
Executed at an estimated 300 to 400 knots per square inch, the rug displays exceptional technical precision and balance. The combination of natural dyes, luminous kurk wool, and painterly drawing gives the surface a subtle depth and movement.
Such pictorial Kashans are celebrated for their narrative quality and refinement, prized both as functional carpets and as collectible textiles for display, woven expressions of beauty, devotion, and the Persian vision of paradise.
