Old Keshan

This rug in blue-grey exists only once in this form: it combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. A knot density of approx. 400,000 knots per m² makes the elaborate workmanship visible – right down to the finely worked details. At 460 × 304 cm, it is well placed as a rug for generous living spaces. It looks just as good beneath a large dining table. Colouring and texture lend the room a homely atmosphere – with a character no other rug shares.

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 106 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 had admirers before you. It was knotted around 1920 and has given faithful service ever since. This vast old Keshan needs a little attention at the fringes. Apart from that it is in good shape. All in all it is nevertheless in good condition and can give pleasure for decades to come. We have not restored this Old Keshan, because we feel it has a presence of its own just as it is. If you would like us to, we will of course be happy to restore the rug for you.
