MOHTASHAM KASHAN
Central Persian (SOLD)

(High-Collectible) ("Best-of-its-Type Sold in 2020”) (High-Collectible) Great Mohtashams reflect an unimaginable dexterity in creating a sense of rhythm, an incredibly well-integrated design and color hierarchy, highly expressive details from ultra-precise knotting, ingenious medallions, and evocative colors. This rug checks all the boxes. Its softly lobed, compelling teardrop medallion offers an inner luminescent cerulean layer featuring painstakingly rendered lotus blossoms. The profusion of flower forms beyond the medallion is wondrous without being overwhelming, gently organized by larger, intermittent motifs. In addition to the central blue pool, saffron gold and a signature peach-rose Mohtasham tone are on evocative display. Carefully adorned with a mosaic of multi-hued botanical elements, this 170-year old carpet is imbued with an unquestionable magnificence and amazingly refined aesthetic. Learn About This Rug Type
