This pure silk antique Kashan is one of my favorite carpets. You probably saw one of its closeup images posted on my social media. Here is the full image posted for the first time. It is a marvel in all senses.Silk on silk, the materials are of the highest order and technically the weave is very fine indeed. Design wise, the artist created a ravishingly perfect balance between the rich ornamentation of the medallion (how elegantly drawn) and the breathtaking negative space of the open blue field. The navy blue tones draw you in and you feel sinking deeper and deeper in. One of the finest and definitely the most beautiful silk Kashan you or I will ever see. Absolutely mint condition with full pile, all original fringes, no breaking and no humidity.

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
