4 x 7 Antique Persian Kashan Rug 74340

Renowned for soft, extremely luxurious silk, this late 19th century antique Persian Kashan rug is highly prized with its exceptional artistry and craftsmanship. Kashan carpets represent an exclusive subgroup of Persian rugs 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 motifs resulting in an exceptionally graceful and balanced composition. Deeply saturated with raspberry, pink, blue, gray, ivory and accents of yellow and spring green bring a majestic presence when combined with a picturesque floral scene. Detailed with fine contrasting outlines, every element of the composition is brought into sharp focus against the luminous field from the lush foliage to the flowers and rosettes. The border is equally as compelling, with the masterful color shifts among the complementary tones. With its well-balanced proportions of botanicals and florals, this antique silk Kashan is infused with a profound sense of Persian culture.
