Age 1915
A beguiling transition piece between the Age of Mohtasham and the Age of Dabir, this fantastic Kashan carpet stands out for its extra soft Kork lambswool and the delicately saturated vegetable dyes. It belongs to a hard-to-find type that came out of the Manchester wool school of weaving and shows an antecedent style to that popularized by Dabir and SafaZadeh in the 1920s.
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
