KASHAN, Central Persian
8ft 7in x 11ft 5in
Circa 1910
Featuring superlative workmanship and incredibly fine knotting, this resplendent turn of the 20th century classical Persian rug, obviously woven in one of the city’s finest workshop, is in magnificent, full pile condition. Enlivened by lustrous wool, its crisp, lyrical design, faithfully echoing the 16th century Safavid tradition, integrates an astounding amount of detail and myriad hues of color, creating tremendous fluidity in both the field and border. The traditional brick red and blue palette is here interpreted in alluringly soft values of muted brick and a tonal sapphire to azure range. (Featured in catalog Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 24.)
