About the Item

79174 Late 19th Century Antique Persian Mohtasham Kashan Rug, 06'09 x 10'02. A resplendent expression of Late 19th Century Persian artistry, this antique Persian Mohtasham Kashan rug unfolds like an illuminated manuscript upon the floor—each knot a letter in a lyrical ode to refinement and tradition. Hand-knotted in lustrous Manchester wool by the celebrated master Mohtasham’s workshop, the composition radiates from a richly ornamented central medallion, blooming outward with intricate arabesques, symmetries, and sacred geometry. Enshrined within an ivory field, the medallion pulses in rich tones of ruby red, indigo blue, and celadon green, forming a visual nucleus of rhythmic elegance. The field itself is a garden of dreams—its surface a delicate dance of blossoming vines, sinuous leaves, and stylized lotus flowers. Every curling tendril and botanical flourish speaks to the eternal Persian fascination with paradise, recalling the Charbagh gardens of Kashan where symmetry and scent once mingled beneath tiled domes. The painterly effect of natural vegetable dyes adds depth and warmth to the motifs, now mellowed by time into a patina that whispers rather than shouts, like the echo of poetry in an old courtyard. Framing the composition is a regal border adorned with a procession of palmettes, rosettes, and cartouches, each linked by scrolling vinework. These elements provide both visual containment and rhythmic harmony, guiding the eye along a steady course like the verses of a ghazal. The corner spandrels mirror the intricacy of the central design, their dramatic angular extensions filled with mythic cloudbands and phoenix-like flourishes—perhaps an allusion to the rug’s rebirth through every generation that beholds it. With its precise knotting, lyrical composition, and time-softened hues, this antique Mohtasham Kashan rug is more than a textile; it is a woven chronicle of the Qajar era’s golden age of design. A silent witness to a bygone world of master weavers, courtiers, and calligraphers, this rug brings with it the dignity of history and the soft grandeur of Persian romanticism, transforming any interior into a space touched by the eternal grace of timeless craftsmanship.
