This is a truly marvelous antique Persian Kashan rug, and it is an important work in the history of Persian carpet weaving. It tells the story of the renewal of a passion for an art form within its threads. Its awe-inspiring design and radiant colors will give the room an elegance that few pieces can do. This is an exquisite finely woven rug for any home or office and where it will stand regally as a showpiece and one of significant historical importance in any collection.

From the interior of the larger borders to the outlines surrounding those frames, these small details create a living network of natural elements. Within the heart of the Persian rug, a tremendous diamond dominates the area, itself a home to another, smaller diamond that showcases a pleasing multitude of elegant shapes.
