Beautiful Persian Kashan oversize rug from the second quarter of the 20th century. The previous owner must have kept this rug in phenomenal shape Measures: 11'8” x 16'6” The best 19th century and turn-of-the-20th century Kashan carpets, be they of the Manchester wool type or the Mohtasham Kashan style, are quite essentially formal, richly continental, and definitively complement a traditional decor. Additionally, they work well in a range of other settings, especially the grand spaces being conceived by today’s creative architects. The finest pieces, if preserved in good to excellent condition and using an appealing palette of exclusively naturally dyed colors, should be considered very solid art investments.
