Fine Floral Red and Blue Large Size Antique Persian Kashan Rug 43573

Antique Kashan Rug, Origin: Persia, circa: Turn of the 20th Century – Here is a beautiful and impressively woven antique Oriental rug – an antique Kashan carpet that was woven in Persia in the years surrounding the turn of the twentieth century. Characterized by a vibrant pallet of reds as well as an impressive allover design, this antique Kashan carpet is an alluring example of an important style of antique Persian rug weaving. An allover design of undulating vines replete with flowers and palmettes wends its way across the rich burgundy field of this classic antique Kashan. The drawing is animated, suggesting a sense of burgeoning life, while still expressing that stately restraint for which Kashans of this type are so highly prized. An elegant palmette vinescroll border frames the field, set against a navy ground for contrast and reinforced by ivory minor borders. The finesse of the drawing and the weave are matched by the saturated color and lustrous pile. A compelling work, this antique Persian Kashan carpet is a comely and intriguing example of the style.
