This antique Persian Kashan Mohtasham rug is an exquisite example of masterful 20th-century craftsmanship, renowned for its exceptional weave and luminous wool. The design features a grand central medallion in deep indigo, richly adorned with intricate floral motifs and surrounded by a sprawling field of delicately drawn vines, palmettes, and blossoming sprays, all set against a soft ivory background. The artistry is further elevated by the elegant corner spandrels that mirror the medallion's detailing, creating perfect visual balance.
The border is a masterpiece, showcasing a series of stylised palmettes and floral rosettes, finely interlaced with scrolling vines on a darker ground, providing a striking yet harmonious frame. Characteristic of Mohtasham Kashan weavings, the rug's palette is refined and sophisticated, combining deep blues, soft creams, subtle terracottas, and muted greens, all executed in high-quality, Manchester wool that gives the surface a silky sheen.
This rug reflects technical perfection and the poetic elegance for which the Mohtasham workshop became famous, making it a true collector's piece and a timeless statement of Persian artistic heritage.
