Antique Kashan - Silk Small Scatter Size Wool Coral Rug, Circa Date: 1920s. This exceptional Persian weaving exemplifies the technical mastery associated with Kashan rugs of the early 20th century, combining luxurious materials with a highly sophisticated design sensibility. Woven primarily in fine wool with lustrous silk highlights, the texture enhances the dramatic color shift. The field utilizes a muted, silvery-slate blue, providing a striking backdrop for the exuberant palette of salmon, magenta, and true coral. This piece stands out among typical coral color rugs due to its unusual, saturated contrast. The design features a delicate, all-over pattern of scrolling vines and stylized blossoms, characteristic of traditional Persian garden compositions.
