(High-Decorative)
Connoisseurs of Persian city rugs know to look out for top quality Kashan carpets woven with Manchester wool, one of the finest grades used in antique Persian carpets. This turn-of-the-20th-century antique carpet is further elevated by the very rare appearance of French blue as a main color of the field, especially so gently striated as in this lovely accent rug. Its exceptionally fine weave, closely cropped pile, and crystalline detail work amplify the beauty of the botanical design. This Oriental art carpet's diminutive size makes it perfect for display as wall art.
