Mohtasham Kashan – Central Persia

With a shiny surface made of lambswool and a wonderful pile, this resplendent Mohtasham Kashan results from technical perfection and the artistic expression of unrivalled sumptuousness. Designed in high definition, this Mohtasham reveals the artist’s unique ability to weave even a tiny figure with the highest precision. From the tripartite teardrop medallion to the sophisticated reciprocating crenels on the outer border, every detail reveals sublime artistry – evidence of artistry that has captured the hearts of rug collectors worldwide. A broad spectrum of shades in blue and red provides proportion, balance, vigour, and intensity that transcend its delicate floral motifs. Produced mainly in small dimensions, 19th-century Mohtasham Kashan rugs rarely exist in large dimensions. This piece is particularly prized for its size, antiquity, and luxury. It remains as lively as it was made 150 years ago and in excellent condition.
