This fascinating art piece offers a diminutive and slender shape perfect for a spectrum of applications around the home. It also demonstrates the finest technical accomplishments of the highly respected Manchester Kashan style, with exquisitely refined design work, a smooth glass-like surface, and a luxurious, glistening lamb’s wool pile. Its elegant vase and bouquet motifs have a sculpted quality as they ascend the field with astonishing delicacy and re-invention. Instead of the predominant rusts and blues that characterize even the most accomplished pieces from this prized Kashan subgroup, here the palette achieves a much lighter character via groundbreaking use of abundant parchment and warm sand tones throughout its field and borders. Very selective and harmonious periwinkle accents make the nuanced botanical drawing seem even more exquisite. Its condition remains remarkable with heavier pile.
