Kashan Persian carpet - cork wool - Rug - 421 cm - 301 cm
The Keshan carpet is considered one of the most famous among the classic hand-knotted carpets. Even in the Persian Empire, the Keshan carpet was considered one of the most important trade goods in the region thanks to the expertise of the weaving masters. Thanks to the Silk Road, the city gained prosperity and national reputation. This Keshan impresses with its "plain" style, which is reminiscent of Gabbeh carpets, as it does not have many patterns as is usual with Keshan carpets.
Due to their high quality, Keshan carpets that are more than 100 years old still exist today. These are very sought after by collectors. Keshan carpets have above-average wool and a short pile. The warp and weft are usually made of cotton and the pile is made of high-quality regional sheep's wool - the dense weave makes the Keshan durable.
The carpet was imported into the EU in 2023.
