("One of “65 Best-of-Their-Type Rugs Sold in 2024") Almost 200 years old, this very early extant Kashan in the Mohtasham tradition is both staggeringly beautiful and the reflection of this style’s original design aesthetic, which may have roots in the 18th century. Beyond that, its singular visage is irresistibly compelling, with its French blue, highly striated medallion beckoning for interaction; its delicately drawn terracotta border and spandrel dividers promising a gentle embrace; and the parchment-toned field filled with a fantastic variety of faceted blossoms in many sizes, always freshly drawn, on angular tendrils. We have never seen another Kashan anything remotely like this! On the floor, in its presence, words failed us. Taking in so many new pattern constructions, large and small, and experiencing the profound effect of such a glowing patina, we were enormously moved.
