Kashan / 18500

This Kashan antique rug measures 8' 1" x 11' 6" and presents a worn, quietly layered surface in blue-grey, cream, and softened terracotta. Repeating floral medallions sit across the field, framed by a scrolling border that reads with elegant symmetry even through visible fading. The wool pile shows medium distress, giving the design a gentle blur and a sense of depth across the whole composition. Circa 1900 - 1915, it carries the patina and restraint that define a finely lived-with antique rug. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
