Kashan Rug, Persia, Early 20th Century – This impressive antique Oriental rug — an antique Kashan piece made in Persia during the early years of the twentieth century — is a truly marvelous piece, the intricacies of which are stunning to behold. A spiraling arabesque with dimensional palmettes and decorative saz-leaf motifs covers the brilliant red field that surrounds the classic medallion, which is flanked by pendant-like palmettes. Arching knot-work spandrels and curvilinear edges, which are synonymous with Kashan’s designs, complete the field while multiple guard bands and dramatic scrollwork borders decorated with a series of reciprocating spiral motifs support the overall design. This rug represents the sort of piece that words really cannot do justice: it is an impeccable work of art that embodies many of the characteristics most sought after by admirers and collectors of antique Persian rugs, not least of all attention to detail and incredible craftsmanship.
