Kashan / 12740

A restrained Kashan with an ivory field enlivened by a finely scaled flowering vine and a grounded vase motif at the base. Rich red and wine purple borders frame the neutral centre, while indigo and olive accents punctuate the floral palmettes. Woven in wool and showing low distress, the piece reads as quietly aged rather than aggressively restored; pile and edges remain well resolved. The tactile surface and close vegetal motifs speak to careful handcraft and sustained use. Circa 1890 - 1910. This antique rug measures 3' 6" x 4' 10" and carries a composed, heritage-aware presence.
