With one foot planted in the 18th century's artistic milieu, this visionary early piece reflects the artistic principles of beauty that set in motion this inimitable floral style with its masterful marriage between pattern, symmetry, color and scale. The singularly elegant palette of this piece, presenting the one-of-a-kind pairing of fawn brown and dusty coral and a spectrum of delicate secondary hues, fills the very spaciously displayed delicate large-scale blossoms. These elements and formatting could be considered a template for the decades of Mohtasham Kashan that came afterward, while its prodigious drawing precision set a very high bar for subsequent craftsmanship. Exquisitely nuanced asymmetry within the corner pieces and virtuoso understated abrash color shifts highlighting the multi-tiered medallion and upper pendant reflect the unparalleled level of command of the unknown weaver of this magical rug. 19ft.1in. x 13ft.1in 581cm. x 400cm Early 19th Century
