(High-Decorative)
Especially joyful and spirited for a turn-of-the-20th century Persian Kashan, a style known for stately symmetry and more sober tones, this ivory ground, room size antique Persian Kashan carpet offers legendary refinement with an exuberant visage. A glowing palette of apricot, raspberry, melon, and cobalt blue transfix the viewer's gaze, infusing each sensitively drawn detail with tremendous presence. A creative assortment of flower heads, serrated leaves and grape bunches are rendered with extreme clarity, while an equalling skillful blue-to-green turquoise border encloses the field's activity. Excellent condition reinforces the virtuoso artistry of this one-of-a-kind Kashan antique carpet. Seamless transitions, aided by shared scale in the elegant foliage, redouble the immersive, harmonious impression.
