Fine Weave Floral Pattern Antique Persian Kashan Rug, Persia, Last Quarter of the 19th century – This mesmerizing antique Persian Kashan area rug captures the essence of the Mohtashem moniker. The lavishly appointed field is adorned with an extraordinary geometric medallion and cypress-like pendants enveloped by spectacular space fillers.
