This beautiful antique Persian Kashan Mohtasham wool rug is a masterpiece of refined elegance and intricate artistry, attributed to one of the most esteemed weaving schools of 19th-century Persia. At the heart of the composition lies a grand, finely drawn medallion flanked by delicately articulated pendants, all set against a field of soft sand, coral, and faded rose tones, enriched with intricate floral motifs. The central field is framed by corner spandrels that mirror the medallion's design, surrounded by a complex arabesque of vines, rosettes, and palmettes in shades of sapphire, gold, pistachio, and burnt orange.
Woven with excellent wool and precise craftsmanship characteristic of Mohtasham's workshop, this rug exhibits exceptional detail, harmonious colour balance, and a graceful patina that speaks to its age and provenance. The floral border, densely filled with stylised blossoms and scrolling tendrils, provides a regal frame to this poetic composition. Highly collectable and culturally significant, this Kashan Mohtasham rug is not only a luxurious floor covering but an actual investment in Persian textile heritage.
