Antique Persian Kashan Carpet 47275

Antique Persian Kashan Rug, Persia, First Quarter of the 20th Century – Embodying the great hallmarks of Persian designs, this superb antique Kashan rug displays splendid decorating colors, magnificent botanical ornaments and exceptional geometry. The second piece in a matching pair, this antique Persian rug displays a stunning, highly sophisticated repeating pattern of perfectly arranged geometric tiles. Alternating pillars of soft blue qua trefoils and ecru tiles traverse the field and sit over a regal sapphire-tone ground patterned with sweeping vine scrolls, lush palmettes and delicate flowers. Filamentous patterns fill the tiled foreground figures that line the edges of the field and create a zigzagging frame. The geometric theme continues in the marvelous main borders, which artfully reflect the strong form of the Persian tiles and stately ecru and ultramarine color palette.
