(High-Decorative) Enlivened by incredibly intricate botanical patterning and a luminous wool's surface, this noteworthy antique Manchester Kashan Persian rug exemplifies the dynamic contrasts and painstaking craftsmanship that give it such a powerful appeal. Against a prized cobalt blue field, the resonant terracotta, deep indigo, olive and khaki tones in this finely crafted carpet amplify the energy of its effusive floral sprays, carefully integrated into a spacious overall design. Equally refined borders contribute a balanced frame to this formal, yet dynamic large Persian carpet.
