About the Item

74220 Antique Persian Mohtashem Kashan Silk Directional Rug with Regal Neoclassic Style. Opulence and grace with beguiling ambiance, this antique Persian Mohtashem Kashan large directional prayer rug beautifully displays a scalloped mihrab niche pattern enclosing an ornate vase overflowing with dense florals. On either side of the Persian vase, two tree of life designs sprout into a floral vines filling the center composition with blooming palmettes, star flowers, rosettes, leafy tendrils, blossoms, tulips, lilies, and sickle leaves. The meandering tree branches mingle with a medley of exquisitely composed flowers and leaves creating a majestic cadence throughout this tantalizing composition. The series of borders are equally as compelling, with the masterful color shifts among the complementary tones. With a complementary blue background, the Mihrab spandrels seamlessly meld into the overall idyllic design scheme, allowing each stately floral, leaf and branch to be expressed with elegance. The main border showcases the expressive Shah Abbas palmettes design originally found in antique Oriental carpets crafted from the 16th century. The series of guard borders gracefully reflect a traditional pattern of reciprocating floral motifs and complement the majestic colors used within the field.
