Very fine  Persian Kashan Silk Rug,  Antique  Medallion design

 

This very fine Persian Kashan silk rug displays an ornate design of classical central medallion format with the pattern being symmetrical on both the vertical and horizontal axis. The design is complex, yet maintains an open, airy appearance and displays a multi layered arrangement of meandering curvilinear linking palmettes and flower heads ending in leaves, and which includes an unusual pattern element defined by the presence of pairs of conjoined curvaceous boteh motifs. The colours used are from a distinctive Kashan palette associated with Kashan silk weaving dating to the early revivalist period from around 1890, particularly defined by the presence of purple used as a dominant colour. The range of colours, white, purple, pale blue, beige and charcoal outlining are superbly juxtaposed to create a highly appealing work of Kashan silk woven art.
