Kashan is one of the most celebrated weaving centres in Persia, known for producing carpets of exceptional refinement. Among its most revered names is the Mohtasham workshop, famous for using finely spun wool, natural dyes, and superior craftsmanship. This antique piece is a genuine example from that prestigious atelier.

Woven with velvety, high-quality wool, this carpet exhibits a fine weave and deeply saturated colours that shine like jewels—a hallmark of Mohtasham production. The design is likely filled with intricate floral motifs, a central medallion, and flowing arabesques that reflect the classical Persian aesthetic at its most elegant.

The piece shows signs of age and use, as expected for an antique of this calibre: approximately one-third of the carpet is evenly worn, and one end is slightly reduced. These features do not detract from its aesthetic appeal and instead offer a touch of authenticity and time-earned character. The wear has been taken into account in the very reasonable pricing, making this a rare opportunity to own a Mohtasham Kashan at excellent value.

Whether displayed in a formal space, layered under furniture, or hung as textile art, this piece brings history, beauty, and refinement to any setting.
