这条极具收藏价值的喀桑古毯全部由真丝编织而成，其中绒面部分采用优质的拉什特手坊丝，中心葵部分由真丝和金属线混织成镂空图案，别具一格。全毯采用100%植物性染料，色彩丰富和谐，且经久不变。该毯编织技法精湛，结点紧密（每平方米达121万个结点），纹饰清晰流畅。除中心及边缘部分略有损伤，总体品相堪称一流。原藏家专门将此毯装裱在镜框中，悬挂在墙上达40年之久，珍爱备至。在当今艺术市场上，这一类的喀桑古毯备受关注。
丝毯的主面板底色呈淡蓝色，与边界部分淡雅的玫瑰色形成对比。镂空的中心葵是以波斯16世纪杰出君王“阿巴斯”命名的经典图案，强烈的深蓝色光泽是真丝与金属线混纺的结果。这在地毯中难得一见，由于金属线不易被染色，因此只有在最高档的真丝毯中才会编入金属线，以达到最佳的视觉效果。
在中心葵四周，装点以红色与米黄色的镂空蔓藤花纹，构成一个菱形。主面板四角的蓝黑色拱肩内饰有精美的棕榈叶图案，覆于淡蓝色的底子上。玫瑰色主边界
内同样遍布着结构规整、优雅繁密的枝叶图纹，六条细致的护边以交错的线条丰富了整体空间。由于真丝的光泽和镂空的阴影效果，从不同的视角看去，毯面呈现出不同的色泽变幻，令人称奇。底部的边穗被染成红蓝两色，增强了装饰效果，为整幅织品完美收尾。
The pattern is knotted in silk against a woven light blue silk field and woven pale rose-pink border ground. Kashans of this group are very highly valued on today's market, particularly when displaying the extremely fine quality both of knotting and weaving found here, and with the rich contrasts and precise clarity of ornament that give this piece its compelling visual character. The intense luminosity of the midnight-blue in the medallion is rarely seen in combination with silk (with its resistance to saturated dye penetration), associated more with wool Mohtaschems and some Sarouk and Malayer rugs. An intricate red and beige arabesque configuration outlines the main lozenge against the light-blue flat-woven field, which is covered with a flower-and leaf stem-lattice of conventional Kashan conception, yet here given dramatic emphasis by its raised-silk, "relief" structure, and the vitality of its dye shades, which produce different chromatic effects whenever the direction of view is altered. The blue-black corner spandrels each contain a crisply-detailed ornamental palmetto, its interior in woven pale blue, against which all subsidiary decoration is piled. Graceful roseate and both palmettos of great internal complexity are piled in a perfectly-organized border composition (witness the fluent corner solutions) against the roseate pink flat-weave ground. Six guard stripes and chequered lines give increased prominence to the spare design and striking colour of the border, while silk end fringes dyed in red and blue add a final flourish to this tour-de-force of weaving art. This excellent collectable item has to be fixed in a frame and hanged on the wall.
