Antique Kashan, Persia, early twentieth century – Elegantly stylized shrubs or trees of life repeat in staggered array across the field of this opulent antique Kashan. The forms are cleverly articulated to suggest a latent design of reciprocal ogival compartments, in which the narrow bands of the ground between the shrubs function as a defining lattice. The border reverses the color scheme of the field with a series of red shrubs on a blue ground to create a pleasing frame or contrast. The plush lustrous pile imparts a luminous quality to the design, enhancing the controlled intensity of the color.
