Antique Kashan Rug, Persia – This beautiful antique Oriental rug — a magnificent, charming antique Kashan piece made in Persia — really is an amazing rug, the tremendous quality of which is a testament to the skills possessed by the craftsman responsible for it. Featuring a central vase flanked by grazing deer, this pastoral Kashan carpet is woven with a rich burgundy background decorated with millefleur-style clusters of flowering trees and dense foliage that provides habitat for a multitude of auspicious birds. Double guard bands, an ogival mihrab in royal blue and branch-and-bird border, which would inspire the arts and craft movement and contemporaries, complete this classic Kashan rug. This piece is enduringly beautiful just as it is enduringly well-made. Rugs as evocatively beautiful as this are a treasure, and offer an opportunity to own something deeply special.
