This quietly dramatic room-size Mohtasham Kashan exudes a classical ambiance with its winsome and individual contributions to this style. Its creative patterning offers a fascinating world to explore in detail again and again, where new intricacies of design and color await to be discovered. Exotic birds are perched everywhere in the soft cinnabar-hued reserve: pairs, individuals, upside down and right side up, engage amicably in this bustling aviary. This zone is greeted by ornate double-handled vases that extend from elegant corner spandrels. Shimmering floral vinery proliferates along a deep slate blue ground in the primary border, flawlessly continuing around each corner in master-planned perfection. Still, subliminal nuances of color and shape vitalize every bud, blossom, and grand palmette in a way that you can almost imagine them gently swaying in the breeze. The knotting is extraordinarily fine, and the wool quality is outstanding, accounting for the crystal clarity and great luminosity that dances across the surface to underscore this carpet’s subtle splendor. Its condition is unfathomably good considering its age of over 170 years.
