About the Item
Antique Persian Mohtashem Kashan Handmade Wool Rug by Doris Leslie Blau
Size: 8'5" × 11'3" (256 × 342 cm)
A breathtaking display of classical Persian artistry, this antique Kashan rug captivates with a rare and ornate lattice medallion design rendered in an exquisitely balanced color palette. The field is composed of a series of interconnected cartouche-shaped medallions, each filled with unique botanical or geometric motifs—evoking the stylized architectural ceilings and tilework of Persian palaces.
Set against a soft, age-faded peach and ivory ground, the medallions alternate in hues of sapphire blue, sky, pistachio, ivory, and coral, giving the piece a remarkable chromatic rhythm. The lattice layout lends harmony and structure while allowing each medallion to act like an individual artwork. Elegant floral sprigs, rosettes, and vase forms emerge throughout, adding delicacy and symbolic richness.
The wide border features floral bouquets framed in ribbon-like ovals against a deep indigo backdrop, contrasting beautifully with the inner field. Minor guard borders echo motifs from the center, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail.
Woven in the early 20th century in one of Persia's most renowned weaving centers, this Kashan rug retains great clarity in both design and color. Its soft palette—muted through time—makes it especially versatile for both classical and contemporary interiors. The piece is preserved in admirable condition, with a refined patina that enhances its antique character.
A rare piece from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection, this rug exemplifies superior artistry and tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
