Antique Persian Mazandaran Kilim, origin: Persia, circa early 20th century. Size: 6 ft. x 6 ft. 3 in (1.83 m x 1.9 m) An unintentional but pronounced resemblance to sophisticated modern Minimalist art is demonstrated in the exuberant use of color and understated design in Mazandaran kilims.

These lateral panels display a superb selection of abrashed stripes and abstract patterns produced by ombre gradations in the heavily dyed fibers. These abrashed patterns resemble horizontal paint...
