Kashan / 18500

This Kashan antique rug measures 246 x 351 cm and offers a refined, weathered composition in blue-grey, cream, and muted blush tones. Repeating floral medallions unfold across the field, enclosed by an ornate scrolling border and narrow guard borders that remain legible despite the softened surface. The wool has developed medium distress, with gentle fading, relaxed contrast, and age visible at the edges. Circa 1945 - 1975, it balances traditional ornament with a calm, timeworn presence that feels deeply considered. The softened surface retains a quiet, tactile character shaped by time.
