(One of 70 "Best-of-Their-Type Rugs" Sold in 2025) This extraordinarily finely woven Mohtasham is a symphonic magnum opus, painstakingly brought into existence by a visionary and virtuoso 19th-century team of designers and weavers. Here, the field is graced with an ingenously imagined, mind-bogglingly intricate centerpiece with a crimson radial medallion, ensconced within a flurry of colorful millefleur and arcing vinery, outlined by a gently scalloped cornflower blue surround. Detailed “winged" vases emerge from each of the four corners, pouring a seemingly endless bounty of floral sprays and verdure. Along the perimeter of the field, a series of vine-connected escutcheon shaped cartouches encircles the fertile field. Nothing amplifies meticulously brewed color like lanolin-rich lamb’s wool shorn from seasonally migratory flocks, and virtuoso dye craft is on full display throughout this oversize wonder of the textile world. Their shifting harmonious juxtapositions to one another emulate the beauty of nature and display the virtuoso skill of those who accomplished this masterpiece.
