MOHTASHAM KASHAN
Central Persian Antique Carpet

(High-Collectible) Boasting a glistening lamb's wool surface and extraordinarily fine weave, this resplendent Mohtasham Kashan achieves technical perfection while expressing a vibrant otherworldly beauty. Chiseled lines reveal the singular ability of this style to draw even the most minuscule motif with unfathomable precision. From its tripartite teardrop medallion to its sophisticated reciprocal crenellations in the outer border, every inspired detail reveals pre-eminent workmanship, evidence of an attentiveness that has captured the hearts of carpet collectors around the world. Produced chiefly in small rug dimensions, 19th-century Mohtasham Kashan carpets are in a class by themselves and are only seldom found in room size and oversize formats. The best larger rugs such as this are particularly prized. An expansive natural palette of prized robin’s egg blue, soft golden wheat, apricot, burnished gold, and burnt carnelian provide intriguing harmony hues that impart a transcendent freshness and energy to its delicate botanical motifs. Mohtasham Kashans are in a class by themselves—antique carpets at their most luxurious. This carpet is just as vivacious today as when it was woven 150 years ago, remarkably remaining in exceptional heavier pile condition.
