(High-Collectible +) ("The California Collection") Offering tremendous delicacy of line and a magnificent array of unique colors from soft to jewel-toned, this is a masterpiece from the treasured Mohtasham Kashan classical Persian style. At the very center, a sunflower blossom within a chiseled ivory starflower motif is the generative power that animates the varied blooms and buds within the midnight sapphire central medallion. Four smaller-scale quatrefoil medallions occupy the cardinal directions, each shaded with subtle parchment and sky-blue gradations. Palmette-bearing shield pendants and effusive ornamental foliage fill the remaining space within the Venetian red reserve, evoking the charming allure of nature. Floret studded feathery fronds line the elongated corner spandrels, with partial motifs at the edges hinting at a pattern extending beyond the frame. The primary border features a resolved pattern of pom pom palmettes enshrouded by a flower-laden garland. Its condition remains fantastic at extreme age, and the top-quality wool used in its construction has maintained its inherent glow.
