Kashan

Kashan Oval Medallion — Crimson

A quintessential Kashan in the classical medallion format. The oval medallion — a form particularly associated with Kashan's finest workshops — rests at the heart of a densely packed floral arabesque field in the city's signature deep crimson. The black border with its blue accent pieces in the corner spandrels gives this rug a sense of sophisticated restraint. The ivory ground of the main border, decorated with alternating palmettes and rosettes in the Kashan manner, separates field from border with perfect rhythm. An heirloom-quality piece of enduring elegance.
