Kashan / 12317

A Kashan antique rug woven in wool, its story told in figural panels framed by a roundel border. The field pairs soft creams and pale blues with deeper navy and rust accents, the palette held in a calm, neutral register. Fine, low-distress surface and well-preserved fringe preserve the drawing and colour transitions; subtle abrash gives the plains an lived, tactile warmth. Measures 4' 3" x 7' 4" and carries a composed, narrative presence that reads as both object and image. Circa 1945 - 1960, the piece feels quietly crafted, a thoughtful study in colour, line and storytelling in wool.
