Breathtaking Antique Persian Mohtasham Kashan Rug, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa date: 1880 – This exquisite antique Persian Kashan rug is the work of master carpet weaver Ustad Mohtashem. This spectacular antique Persian carpet was produced around the 1880’s, yet its delicate pinks and blues remain vibrant today.

This magnificently classic traditional rug features a formal center rug medallion which radiates symmetrically from the center. The design highlights graceful weeping willow trees and a beautiful floral pattern. The master weaver balanced light and dark areas using hues of pinks, blues, and ivory. The field of this artistic antique Mohtashem rug is divided into major sections using contrasting background colors to give them definition. The motifs of the Persian Mohtashem Kashan rug are worked in exquisite detail with darker outlining to set them apart from the background.
