Pillars of Kashan

A columned composition in the classical Kashan manner, the pillars framing the field the way an arcade frames a courtyard. Densely woven at 650 knots to the square inch, in a commanding pairing of red and blue.

Columned architectural composition with a central vase — four pillars beneath an arcade on a madder field; navy palmette border.
