Kashan Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century - A spiraling arabesque with dimensional palmettes and decorative saz-leaf motifs covers the brilliant red field that surrounds the classic medallion, which is flanked by pendant-like palmettes. Arching knot-work spandrels and curvilinear edges, which are synonymous with Kashan's designs, complete the field while multiple guardbands and dramatic scrollwork borders decorated with a series of reciprocating spiral motifs support the overall design.
