No Reserve - Antique Persian Kashan Sickle Design Rug

Size: 16 ft 6 in x 12 ft 4 in (5.03 m x 3.76 m)

Provenance: Inventory of the late Albert Karmely

This large antique Persian Kashan sickle design rug from circa 1920 is a breathtaking expression of classical Persian court weaving, its rich red field hosting a mesmerizing allover lattice of flowering vines, ornate palmettes, and floral rosettes in cooler accents of midnight blue, sapphire, ivory, pistachio green, and delicate rose. A wide border of scrolling vines, lotus blossoms, and cartouches frames the lushly abundant composition with exceptional structural precision — reflecting the high knot density and superior wool quality synonymous with the finest Kashan production of the era.
