(High-Decorative)
("New Arrivals Gallery") Belonging to a group of the most sumptuous of Persian rugs, this finely crafted Manchester Kashan features extremely tight knotting, chiseled floral designs, a silken texture, and soft glowing hues coming from the use of the finest lambswool. Note the extraordinary elegance and crystalline quality of the balanced floral display. Graceful blossom sprays and lyrically drawn bouquets are balanced in a delicate dance across the softened sandstone-hued field. This background itself is tastefully textured through the skillful, painterly eyes of the weavers, who purposefully used differing gradients of hue to create effects of light and shade. Additional glistening color hues, including fiery cinnabar, burnished gold, cobalt, electrum, and royal blue, impart an even more resonant glow to the selectively lanolin-rich living wool used in this carpet's construction. A bounteous border suite features plush peonies, lotus flowers, and miniaturized feathery cypress forms. This finely woven carpet from the refined City tradition is in superb condition overall after more than a century.
