No Reserve — Fine Antique Silk Kashan Rug, Central Persia, circa 1900

Size: 6 ft 5 in x 4 ft 2 in (1.95 m x 1.27 m)

Provenance: Property of a Nashville collector

Finely woven in silk, this elegant Kashan exemplifies the technical refinement and sophisticated drawing associated with the leading urban workshops of central Persia around the turn of the twentieth century. The luminous surface allows the composition to change subtly with the direction of light, enhancing both the colors and the precision of the ornament. Silk Kashan rugs were luxury objects intended to demonstrate the extraordinary control of the designer, dyer and weaver. This example offers collectors an opportunity to acquire a finely woven classical Persian carpet without reserve.
