Antique Persian Kashan Rug, Origin: Persia, Circa: Early 20th Century – This ravishing antique Persian rug typifies the strengths of Kashan luxurious floral designs. An elegant pendant-flanked medallion with leaf-fringed curves and dazzling floral decorations is the centerpiece of this splendid composition. Sweeping curvilinear arabesques with re-curving tendrils and spiraling vine scrolls are covered with exuberant decorations. Stately spandrels filled with immensely detailed ornaments embrace the edges of the superbly styled field and creamy white mid-ground, which is graced with floral motifs that have acquired an elegant oxidized patina. Brilliant vermillion borders contain spiraling sconces and cartouches that epitomize the lush style of antique Persian Kashan rugs, which favors elegant large-scale motifs, hairline decorations and superfluous curves that redouble the beauty of Persia’s iconic arabesques.
