在古董毯收藏界，人們將頂級(jí)的喀桑地毯稱為“喀桑莫塔森”毯，“莫塔森”一詞源自19世紀(jì)波斯紡織大師Mohtaschem的手工作坊。從該毯主面板的圖案來看，具有莫塔森毯的早期風(fēng)格。
此毯堪稱波斯動(dòng)物藝術(shù)地毯的杰作。淺褐色背景中一棵宛如蛇形的樹肆意伸展，繁茂的枝葉間棲息著各種鳥類和動(dòng)物，活潑跳躍的松鼠，安閑優(yōu)雅的鹿，充滿著緊張氣氛的獅子獵羊……奇特的畫面不由地令人聯(lián)想起印度莫臥兒地毯中的經(jīng)典設(shè)計(jì)——會(huì)說話的樹。
這條古董毯的絨面全部由最優(yōu)質(zhì)的克爾克羊毛制成，更為難得的是，此毯的經(jīng)線及鑲邊部分也為克爾克羊毛，緯線則以真絲編織，做工極為精良，結(jié)點(diǎn)緊密，每平方米的編結(jié)數(shù)達(dá)到100萬個(gè)，全毯共計(jì)283.5萬個(gè)結(jié)點(diǎn)。品相極佳。非常適宜室內(nèi)裝飾，極具收藏、投資價(jià)值。
This is a rather remarkable Mohtaschem rug, in terms of its field design. A soft brown bifurcated tree snakes with a sinuous vigor up the field, marvelously intertwined with the far more slender, foliate-branched cream tree, with other clear cream leafy-shrubs at the base of the field. A spectacular abundance of foliage includes lotus palmettes, rosettes and leaves, bunches of grapes, and other fruit or foliage devices that gives the vegetal decoration of the piece its highly unusual appearance. Glimpsed amidst this woodland profusion are multifarious birds and animals, depicted in intriguingly naturalistic manner, this combat group serving to illustrate the lifelike style of animal drawing adopted, and the peculiarly irrational relationship of such animals to their background. The creatures are realistic in setting - the grazing deer, the squatting squirrel-like animals and so on. This strange mixture is reminiscent of the vaq-vac tree ('talking tree') design of the Mughal Indian carpets. A conventional ivory-ground arabesque scroll and palmette border and floral guard stripes, with an outer stripe of tiny arches like the barmak pattern of the Turkoman, establishes a traditional, and mellow-coloured, frame to this splendid field, its animate theme reflected in the liveliness of its rendition. Wool, knotting and the harmonies of colour are all definitive of the early Mohtaschem style. A superb work of Persian animal art.n
