Antique Persian Mohtasham Kashan Carpet 44836

Finely Woven Antique Mohtasham Kashan Carpet, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1900 — In this Mohtasham Kashan carpet, rich, dark tones create a smoldering vista for the viewer to enjoy, with the colors appearing not unlike bright coals beneath a roaring fire. Rich crimson and inky black hues are offset by dusky blues and buttermilk yellows. The different layers of borders all lead to the center of the carpet, where a bright and vivacious mandala unifies the carpet and grounds the fiery presence around it. Swirling stems and curling flower motifs all come together in the varying backgrounds, the earthy motifs only serving to add value to the existing forms. Mohtasham carpets are considered the best of the best of antique Kashan rugs and this rug does not disappoint.
