73123 Antique Persian Kashan Kork Manchester Wool Rug, 12'00 x 18'08.
Renowned for soft, extremely luxurious wool imported from England, this late 19th century Persian Manchester Kashan antique palace size rug is highly prized with its exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. The high-grade Kork (Qurk) wool comes from the softest parts of Manchester sheep. Manchester Kashan Oriental rugs represent an exclusive subgroup of Persian carpets known for their impeccably fine knotting, silken texture, stylized floral designs and soft, luminous color palette.
Highly sophisticated in design, this antique Kashan rug features the classical Persian vase abundantly flowing with an array of delicate blossoms resulting in an exceptionally graceful and balanced composition. Deeply saturated with variegated shades ranging from Persian orange to terra cotta, bronze to copper, Armenian bole (reddish-brown) bring a majestic presence when combined with a picturesque Garden of Paradise scene. Detailed with fine contrasting outlines, every element of the composition is brought into sharp focus against the luminous field from the lush foliage emerging from the Persian vases to the partridge motifs. The border is equally as compelling, with the masterful color shifts among the complementary tones. Well-suited for a wide range of interior styles: Victorian, Hepplewhite, Queen Anne, Tudor, Chippendale, Neoclassical, Jacobean, Traditional, Federal, English, Old World, Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Contemporary, Industrial, Arts & Crafts, Craftsman, Baroque, Louis XIV, French Country, and Eclectic.
