(High-Collectible-Plus) (One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) Mohtasham Kashans are vigorously sought internationally by serious connoisseurs of classical Persian weaving. This ambitious and magnificent piece offers one of this tradition’s rarer patterns, based on the centuries-old design from the neighboring village of Joshegan. A cruciform centerpiece hovers on vivid French blue with loosely diamond-shaped floret clusters, with weeping willows coming in above and below that could double as flowing courtyard fountains. Woven in crystalline clarity, a compartmentalized crimson reserve resembles an island in the middle of a placid, festooned sea. Continuing the dreamlike imagery, a flock of nearly concealed birds feasts on grape bunches that grow from sweeping sapphire vinery on its hypnotic border. The entire piece shimmers through unfathomably soft wool of the highest quality, its luminosity amplified by the rug's lush, heavier pile.
