Mohtashem Kashan Rug, Persia, Late 19th Century – This outstanding late 19th century carpet produced by Kashan’s master weaver Mohtashem features a dramatic octofoil medallion with ornate pendants set over an ivory field. Detailed arabesques with sinuous vine scrolls, delicate flowers and poly chromatic leaves decorate the field and continue through the pronounced spandrels. The unpredictable curves and recessed niches in the medallion edges embody Mohtashem’s iconic geometry and signature style. Triple guard bands featuring a vibrant red background frame the midnight blue borders, which highlight the terracotta red palmettes and trailing floral panicles in stark relief.
