Antique Persian Kashan Rug in Red with Intricate Paisley Lattice - Rug & Kilim
Hand-knotted in fine wool circa 1910-1920, this antique 4x7 Persian Kashan rug is an exquisite collectible curation from Rug & Kilim. The piece brilliantly showcases an unusually rare all-over repeating boteh lattice design framed by a remarkably vibrant, regal border system.On the Design:This masterpiece hails from the prestigious urban weaving center of Kashan during the late Qajar period, a golden era celebrated for producing some of the most technically flawless and artistically sophisticated textiles in Persian history. Diverging from the typical central medallion configurations frequently associated with the region, the composition embraces a disciplined all-over grid of monumental boteh (paisley) motifs. Each elegant teardrop form is intricately filled with an internal floral lattice, meandered by scrolling vines that connect the repeating shapes with mathematical precision. The natural vegetable dyes illuminate the field with a high-contrast polychromatic color theory; where deep madder red and terracotta boteh dance seamlessly against an unadorned, luminous cream backdrop.Encasing this pulsing, high-frequency field is an exceptionally majestic and generous primary border lane draped in an incandescent magenta-crimson red. The framing system hosts a stately sequence of classical Shah Abbasi palmettes, scrolling lotus blossoms, and delicate sapphire blue tendrils that anchor the fine, miniature scale of the interior canvas. The structural integrity is a testament to premium Kashan workshop craftsmanship, boasting an incredibly dense knot count and a closely shorn, low-profile pile that yields sharp linework and an imposing, crisp handle. This investment-grade textile serves as an authoritative, conversation-starting centerpiece uniquely calculated to bring ethnographic history and deep curatorial luxury into upscale modern entryways, sophisticated private residential offices, or discerning collectors' galleries.Condition: This antique Persian Kashan rug is in good condition for its age and origin.
