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.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sharifi & Co. He is an expert on carpets and kilims and clearly loves and appreciates them. His company washed, repaired and moth proofed my beautiful Uzbek kilim within a very short time. Thank you very much Sharifi & Co.
Sharon Ahern
It was a great pleasure doing business with Mr. Sharafi, he knows and loves rugs and that is reflected in the excellent work he has done restoring and repairing mine. They’re looking lovely (and I promise I’ll take good care of them!) Thank you.
Johnny Bryant
Looking for someone who specialises in cleaning persian rugs is like walking a minefield. Thank goodness I found Sharafi. I knew I was on the right track when I heard the National Trust gets their antique rugs done there. Ok no more drinking red wine on valuable heirloom…
