Kashan / 11542

A Kashan in wool with an ivory field framed by a broad rust-red border, this antique rug carries a composed, botanical vocabulary. Finely drawn palmettes, tulip vases and floral sprays arrange in a restrained, medallion-like composition across a soft neutral ground. Warm browns and muted golds are tempered by cool indigo accents, giving the pattern depth without excess. Surface wear is low and the overall hand-aged finish feels tactile and quietly evolved. Circa 1890 - 1910. The 8' 8" x 11' 6" proportions reinforce a classical scale and a disciplined, heritage-aware presence.
