Kashan / 12740

This Kashan presents an ivory ground embroidered with a disciplined floral vine rising from a formal vase, set within narrow red and purple guards. Wool pile retains a soft handle and low wear, the colours softened to a cultivated patina with subtle abrash and lively indigo and olive highlights. The border work is compact yet lyrical, the overall effect calm and textural, a study in fine drawing and restraint. Circa 1900 - 1920. This antique rug measures 107 x 147 cm and conveys a tactile, heritage-informed sensibility. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
