Fine Large Kashan Mohtashem
New
456 x 326 cm (15' x 10' 8")
Persia, early 20th century
Condition: very good, scattered low pile but not worn
Warp: cotton, weft: cotton, pile: wool
It takes great skill just to design such a masterpiece - not to mention the precise execution of the knotting. Even in Persia, this was a feat reserved for only the finest workshops.
At the very center is a star-shaped flower from which the carpet unfolds. It is surrounded by a whirlwind of floral tendrils. It is framed by a blue-outlined medallion with two three-petaled pendants. From these pendants grow small branches bearing a variety of flowers against a muted salmon-red background.
A white medallion with larger pendants forms the base of this, which in turn is bordered in blue and rests on another floral medallion. Here we now arrive at the actual field, from whose four corners richly decorated vases reach toward the center. The entire composition is finally enclosed by another blue inner border line.
In the resulting field, yellow-green bouquets of flowers form the background from all four corners. The main border echoes the color of the inner medallion in a slightly deeper shade and, with its accompanying stripes, has a calming effect on the field.
The term "tour de force" is often misused, but here it is clearly justified.
Estimate: € 30000 - 40000
