(High-Decorative) ("New Arrivals Gallery") This breathtakingly handsome Persian Kashan rug is preserved in virtually full-pile condition at over a century of age. It exemplifies the high refinement and singular design work expected of the highly lauded Dabir workshop. Offering a more seldom-seen blue reserve with a red secondary color, it presents a stirring alternative to this most classical of antique rug styles. Its elegantly elongated centerpiece is the nucleus of an irrepressible proliferation of finely etched native floral types. The deeply wrought crimson that fills the medallion, corners, and main border of this formal piece sets off a dazzling spectrum of distinctive tertiary tones that sparkle through extremely lanolin-rich wool pile, graced by a whisper-light patina of age. A scrolling border design creates a jigsaw puzzle of interlocking crenellations that further project an effortless harmony with the astonishingly detailed world inside the frame.
