Kashan / 12005

A refined Kashan in wool, this large antique rug presents a dense allover vine of palmettes and restrained boteh motifs rendered in layered blue, purple and soft neutrals. The field reads as a deep, luminous purple-blue with delicate highlights and a surrounding floral rondel border that frames the composition with quiet complexity. The pile shows low, even wear and a muted patina that softens the original pigments while preserving crisp design definition. Tactile and compositional, this Kashan balances formal patterning with an intimate, timeworn surface. Circa 1885 - 1905. Exact size: 11' 0" x 18' 0".
