MANCHESTER KASHAN Antique Persian Rug

Manchester Kashans are perennial favorites, charming with their exquisite, silky fine wool and the tremendous articulation of their designs, achieved through their renowned fine weave. Here, a well-balanced eight-lobed fantastical bouquet serves as the centerpiece, set within a spacious array of elegant flowering branches. Two elaborate pendants hang from the medallion and harken back to the historic Ardabil Carpet. Finely etched corner spandrels add dynamic contrast to the expanding central bouquet. The deep crimson ground is the perfect backdrop for a resplendent palette of ultramarine blue, sapphire blue, delicate coral, and rich burnished gold. An intricately detailed main border creates an artful frame for the gracious field of botanical wonderment. The tremendous sense of luxury, classic formal demeanor and excellent condition make this a great treasure for the home.
