Kashan Mohtasham / 20866

This Kashan Mohtasham antique rug measures 4' 5" x 6' 9" and carries the layered elegance associated with the form. A soft, timeworn field of muted blue and cream is anchored by a finely worked central medallion, while the deep navy border creates a measured contrast with scrolling floral forms. Wool gives the surface a subdued, tactile presence, and the visible wear softens the pattern without losing its structure. Circa 1900 - 1915, it reads as composed and quietly expressive, with a balance of ornament and restraint that feels distinctly enduring.
