Origin

The central Persian city of Keshan (also written Kashan or Keschan) lies between the mountain slopes of the Zagros range and the Persian desert regions. Thanks to its climate and the caravans that crossed the country, it was – at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan – a flourishing metropolis, known above all for its fabric and rug production. To this day the city is shaped by the elegance and splendour of that era. Keshan rugs are artful textiles made in an age-old tradition. In Keshan, production traditionally took place in the weavers' own homes. The pile is typically knotted from extremely soft wool, which makes it particularly dense and compact.

This old Keshan is around 56 years old and a real collector's piece.

Material

The pile of this Old Keshan was hand-knotted from high-quality new wool. New wool is obtained by gently shearing sheep. New wool is a renewable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: the wool's natural lanolin content means the surface repels droplets of water, giving it a natural resistance to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and dampens sound.

The weft and warp threads of this Old Keshan are made of cotton. This versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it especially well suited to a hard-wearing foundation weave.

Condition

This old Keshan has a history. It was knotted around 1970. It has been thoroughly cleaned and is in good, though only partly restored, condition. In places the pile has become a little thinner with age. Otherwise the rug is in good overall condition. We have not fully restored this old Keshan because we feel it has a charm all of its own just as it is. If you would like us to, we are of course happy to take the restoration further for you. We can bring almost any rug back to near-perfect condition.
