Antique Persian Mohtashem Kashan Rug 47044

Antique Kashan Rug, Country of Origin:Persia – This intensely detailed, beautifully colored antique Mohtashem carpet is a lasting example of Persia’s golden age of carpet production. The elegant composition features a delicate yet heavily adorned field grounded by sophisticated borders that display feathery saz leaves and flourishing botanical set over a dark midnight ground. The warm papyrus-tone field features a glowing warm-tone medallion that radiates a fiery sunlit aura. Saturated hairline details and softly colored floral motifs change the complexion of the lavish millefleur sprays and arabesques that meander around the field. The spectacular pendant-flanked medallion incorporates heavy embellishments and impossibly intricate ogival notches that are a Mohtashem hallmark. From the border’s elaborate slanting corner pieces to the softly colored, heavily outlined floral decorations, this superb Mohtashem carpet is the epitome of Persian elegance.
