DABIR KASHAN A tour-de-force of Oriental rug designing, this imaginative turn-of-the-20th century Vase rug is a best-of-the-best example of the Kashan city tradition at that time. Presenting a paradisiacal series of tableaus, the complexity of this finely woven patterning is astonishing, as is its perfect rendering of it by an uber-attentive Kashan weaver. The field design is broken into three tiers. The lowest section reveals a grand vase holding a lush bouquet of zinnias and other elaborate flowers, flanked by smaller pots where golden birds sit atop scarlet pansy-like blossoms. The middle zone includes a framed picture of long-legged waterfowl, while under the scalloped archway of the third portion, another vase with birds is articulated. Above it, a mountain scene with deer completes the visual journey. The repetition of the main border’s fanciful, highly decorative patterning skillfully balances the complexity of the field. Resale Right: No! 4' 5" x 6' 89" 135cm x 224cm Circa 1910
