A fine antique Kashan prayer rug, central Persia

Approx: 209cm. x 136cm. Very good example for this type with nicely drawn design of multicoloured open panels with flowering vases and light blue floral mihrab above supported by single column at each side. Colours are well blended. Apart of light wear to the top pile in few small places, barely visible, this rug has very good pile, soft and lustrous wool quality. Selvages rebound, well done. Ends with short fringes, secured. Fine weave, approx: 7 x 7 knots per sq. cm. In general, this rug is in very good usable condition. Elegant and attractive piece.
