Tehran-Kashan — Top
Persian · Late 19th Century
From Kashan to Tehran
A dialogue between two weaving cities: Tehran refinement in the drawing, Kashan boldness in the color. Red and green in confident balance, at 650 knots to the square inch.
Millefleur tree-of-life rising from a golden vase on a madder field; navy arabesque border.
