Age 1950
A great old Kashan city carpet with exquisite symmetry and a very pleasing red tonality. Most of these are dark blue. The lotus border is quite ornate and its sky blue tones echo the light blue highlights in the field charmingly. The medallion is not your usual Kashan style, and has a rather atomic look to it.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
