(High-Collectible)
Offering tremendous delicacy of line and a magnificent array of unique, deeply time-softened colors, this is a masterpiece from the treasured Mohtasham Kashan classical Persian style, and expresses a vibrant paradisiacal beauty. Its intricate compound medallion with a “butterfly flower” at its center, features an astonishing, quite rare sixteen point starflower nesting in a midnight sapphire “shamsa” or radiating medallion with blossom-filled petals. The knotting is extraordinarily fine and the wool quality outstanding, which account for the crystal clarity brought to every smallest detail, the great overall luminosity from the astounding dyes and color choices, and sublime ambiance achieved through an abiding harmony. Produced mostly in smaller dimensions, 19th century Mohtasham carpets are very seldom found in room size formats, and pieces such as this are particularly prized.
