Kashan Rug, Persia, Last Quarter of the 19th Century – Superbly refined, this antique Persian Mohtashem carpet displays a spectacular medallion that’s attractively complex and possesses a mature style and patrician countenance. Soft oxidized colors and rustic details are expertly paired with delicate floral decorations that are defined by their lacey contrasting outlines. Rustic guard bands and crenelated fence accent pieces frame the soft parchment-tone borders, which display a delightful assortment of graceful wildflowers and flowery vines. Following the signature style of the great weaver, the lavish medallion features a complex combination of inset figures that are filled with an endless mesh of interwoven botanical. Lush arabesques gracefully spiral across the field in a harmonious, well-thought-out manner aided by the soft oxidized blues, warm brick reds and soft ivory tones that fit a classic model of elegance.
