This Kashan antique rug measures 1' 10" x 2' 3", and presents a compact pictorial field anchored by a central portrait, a leafy wreath, and calligraphic panels at the top and bottom. Warm red, muted green, ivory, and brown tones create a layered, time-softened surface with a quietly formal presence. The border reads as finely framed and gently worn, allowing the imagery to remain clear while the palette settles into a hushed register. Circa 1880 - 1900, it carries the character of an antique rug with low distress and an expressive, collected atmosphere.
