(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Kashan carpets are one of the most important of the refined urban antique carpets that are the direct legacy of the Golden Age of Persian Weaving of the reign of the famous patron of the arts, Shah Abbas, in the 16th and early 17th-centuries. Absolutely enchanting whenever encountered, pictorial antique Kashan rugs are seldom seen, and this exceptionally finely woven piece is a visual showstopper, featuring an imaginative pattern we have not encountered before. The gardenscape composition of profusely flowering boughs arises from staggered floating vases that host an array of exotic birds in a variety of shapes, sizes, and postures. The radiant palette of bold and subtle Kashan hues still shimmer through a gently patinated surface of the highest quality wool after more than a century. Urns filled with roses and daisies flanked by adoring avian acolytes stand among hand-held cornucopia bouquets in the main border, extending to the inner edge of the field. The outer secondary border houses pairs of cherubic birds and life-like rosettes.
