Kashan

Description

Kashan Rugs: Kashan rugs come from the famous Persian city of Keshan in the heart of Iran. The Kashan rugs of the same name have been very popular since the fifties. Kashan rug is an ideal living room rug, as it is particularly durable and maintains its beauty for at least several decades. A Kashan rug combines the exotic Persian patterns with durability and suitability for everyday use like no other Persian rug.

Persian Rugs: Persian rugs are world famous for their quality and beauty. Genuine Persian rugs are hand knotted and the wool is dyed with natural vegetable dye. Characteristic for Persian rugs are also the elaborate patterns in floral and geometric shapes. The most famous provenances in which rugs are knotted are Nain, Sarough, Tabriz, Isfahan, Kashan, Bidjar and Ghom.

Silk pile : Silk is the finest and most supple yarn in the world and thus gives the rug a very exclusive touch. Silk is used only for very high quality rugs and gives the rug a very pleasant feel.

Silk chain: The warp is the base fabric on which the pile is knotted. The finer the warp, the sharper the pattern of the rug at the end. Only the finest rugs are knotted on silk, because with silk you can create a much tighter and finer warp than with wool. Therefore, only with real silk in the warp can you achieve knot counts of 600,000 and more knots per QM.

Hand knotted quality: Hand-knotted rugs are true works of art and, depending on the quality, require very good training and a high degree of patience. Knotting by hand makes the rugs much finer, smoother and higher quality than with other methods.
