Kashan / 10801

A generous Kashan in wool, defined by an all-over arrangement of palmettes and floral sprays across a saturated red field. The deep navy border anchors repeating cartouche motifs and rosette medallions while brown and neutral accents provide a warm counterpoint to the red ground. Low distress preserves substantial pile and clear detail, with subtle abrash and soft compression that read as lived-in texture rather than loss. This antique rug reads as quietly formal yet tactile, its long proportions held with restraint and craft. Circa 1900 - 1915. Size: 12' 0" x 22' 9".
