Exquisite Antique Kashan Mohtasham Rug – A Masterpiece of Persian Weaving

Step into the world of timeless luxury with this exceptional antique Kashan Mohtasham rug, a true collector’s piece from the golden age of Persian rug weaving. Hand-knotted in the late 19th century by the renowned Mohtasham workshop in Kashan, Iran, this rare treasure exemplifies the highest standards of craftsmanship and artistic expression.

Woven with luminous Manchester-spun wool and featuring a refined asymmetrical knot structure, this rug boasts an unparalleled fineness and sheen. The central medallion design—surrounded by a richly detailed floral field and elegantly framed by intricate corner spandrels and borders—showcases the distinctive Kashan aesthetic, enhanced by a harmonious palette of deep indigo, crimson, beige, and subtle accents of emerald green and rose.

Mohtasham rugs are revered for their quality, rarity, and historical significance. This piece is no exception. Its incredibly fine weave—often exceeding 300 knots per square inch—demonstrates the skill of master artisans and the luxurious intent of its original patrons. Whether displayed in a grand living room, formal library, or upscale gallery, it serves as both an exquisite decorative element and a valuable investment.

With its excellent condition and provenance rooted in one of Persia’s most illustrious weaving traditions, this antique Kashan Mohtasham rug is more than a floor covering—it’s a piece of history. Rarely available on the market, it presents a unique opportunity for discerning collectors and interior designers seeking an heirloom-quality statement piece.

Own a part of Persian heritage—where art, history, and elegance intertwine.
