Made with hand-knotted wool circa 1890-1900, this 10x15 antique rug of Kashan provenance is an exciting new addition to Rug & Kilim’s curations of this celebrated weaving tradition. On the Design: Designers and admirers of the craft alike will immediately recognize the quiet majesty of this grand Kashan rug. Tones of brown and gold underscore a floral all over pattern, enriched by notes of blue and cream. These hues sit gracefully against the brown field, lending the entire piece an air of subtle sophistication. This beautifully aged piece exemplifies the refined aesthetics and elegant scale that have come to define the best of 19th-century weaving. R&K Principal, Jahanshah Nazmiyal, regards this as a particularly beautiful example—its finer weave and delicate drawing setting it apart from many of its contemporaries. This level of artistry, especially on a scale as generous and versatile as this, is increasingly rare and highly coveted among curators today. Condition: This antique Kashan rug further enjoys good condition for its age and lineage.
