("New Arrivals Gallery") This tremendously atypically sized Mohtasham Kashan is a magnificent early example of this legendary weaving style, achieving a woven precision that is awe-inspiring while at the same time capturing the movement, whimsy, and abundance of a blooming garden. Beginning with a central starflower, a quatrefoil medallion of midnight indigo is wreathed in a knotwork of ornate vinery, nestled amidst a profusion of diverse crystalline blooms. The unusual background color of the reserve glistens as if it could have been made from the mythic Golden Fleece itself. Luscious colors from master-craft recipes, now lost and forever unattainable, imbue every botanical element with the fullness of an ecstatic artistic vision. The nimbly applied, triumphant chiaroscuro combinations attest to the unwavering confidence of the weaver. Never in the 43-year history of Claremont have we come across a Mohtasham in this versatile 3x5 dimension, as the lion’s share of those ever created were larger than 4x6. This tremendously collectible sweetheart piece boasts the incredibly luminous lamb’s wool they are famous for. Its tremendously soft tactility and luster are fervently amplified by the almost impossible odds of having virtually full pile.
