Antique Kashan - Silk Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug

Antique Kashan - Silk Small Scatter Size Wool Ivory Rug, Circa Date: 1880s. This extraordinary piece exemplifies the artistic zenith of the late 19th-century Kashan weaving tradition. Woven with a luxurious combination of fine wool and lustrous silk highlights, the rug possesses a remarkable clarity of design and a soft, resilient handle, characteristic of masterworks from this period. The central field is dominated by a rare, luminous ivory color palette, providing a neutral canvas that allows the rich secondary hues—deep magenta, soft sky blue, and earthy taupes—to emerge with striking contrast. This light ground emphasizes the detailed narrative woven into the pile, drawing the eye immediately to the complex iconography.
