{"product_id":"silk-kashan-carpet-unknown-artist","title":"Silk Kashan Carpet - Unknown Artist","description":"\u003cp\u003eA high-resolution reproduction of a 16th-century Persian silk carpet from Kashan, featuring a traditional medallion design and floral motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine art print reproduces a 16th-century silk carpet from the Kashan region of Persia. During the Safavid period, Kashan became a centre for the production of luxury textiles, often commissioned for royal courts or as diplomatic gifts. The design follows the classic medallion format, featuring a central lobed motif surrounded by a field of scrolling vines, palmettes, and floral elements. The composition is balanced, with the central medallion mirrored by smaller corner pieces, creating a sense of order within the dense decorative field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour palette relies on a contrast between the deep red ground and the cooler blue and gold tones of the motifs. The border is equally detailed, containing a sequence of repeating floral forms that frame the central field. The use of silk as a medium allowed for a high degree of precision in the weaving, enabling the inclusion of fine details that would be difficult to achieve with coarser wool. The wear visible in the original piece suggests its age and the history of its use, which this print captures with high-resolution clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePersian carpets of this era are noted for their technical mastery and the sophistication of their patterns. The design reflects the aesthetic preferences of the Safavid era, where symmetry and naturalistic floral motifs were combined to create objects of great visual density. This print offers a view into the craftsmanship of the period, providing an opportunity to examine the layout and colour choices of a historical textile. It is suitable for those interested in the history of decorative arts or the development of textile patterns in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/weaving-and-spinning-kehar-singh\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWeaving and Spinning - Kehar Singh — Kehar Singh\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown Artist","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58977529495887,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58977535492431,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58977535525199,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58977535557967,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58977535590735,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58977535623503,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58977535656271,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58977535689039,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58977535721807,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58977535754575,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58977535787343,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58977535820111,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Silk-Kashan-Carpet_Poster_CompositorV1_1790877528057.jpg?v=1790878529","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/silk-kashan-carpet-unknown-artist","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
