Kaschmar
This rug in dark blue and beige combines traditional craftsmanship with timeless elegance. At approx. 250,000 knots per m² the workmanship is correspondingly painstaking, recognisable in the precise drawing of the pattern and the finely worked details. Its 297 × 247 cm make it a large living-room rug. It comes into its own just as well in the dining room beneath a table for six to eight people. This one-of-a-kind piece brings individual character into the room and holds its value far beyond short-lived trends.

Origin
The town of Kaschmar lies in eastern Persia in the province of Khorasan and is the capital of the district of the same name. It was originally called Turschis and was renamed Kaschmar in the time of Reza Shah. That is why Kaschmar rugs are sometimes still traded under their old name, Turschis.Until a good twenty years ago, it was mainly the Herati pattern that was knotted here, which was then taken up above all by the nearby provenances (source, origin) of Mood and Birjand. Today the so-called Sirchaki pattern prevails. The Sirchaki pattern depicts antique excavation finds such as vases, weapons, jugs, bowls and the like, usually on a blue or beige ground. The arrangement is almost always four-fold symmetrical with a central medallion that is occasionally adorned with a small scene. All of this is framed by a very pronounced main border. The medallions are sometimes asymmetrical and depict landscapes.
In more recent times, however, rugs with all-over patterns and rugs with the Nain pattern have also been knotted in Kaschmar, in the beige-and-blue colour combinations typical of the provenance. You can recognise these Kaschmar Nains by their deep pile. Kaschmar rugs have a fairly coarse knot density, look somewhat coarse-grained and the pile is relatively long.
Material
The pile of this Kaschmar is made of a hard-wearing blend of wool and viscose. Viscose (also called acetate silk or rayon) is always made from cellulose, a natural product, and thus from the raw material wood. In India, the cellulose pulp is obtained from bamboo. In an elaborate process, the pulpy cellulose is drawn into one continuous textile yarn. This is why viscose is also known as continuous filament yarn. Because of the silky sheen of the yarn, viscose obtained from bamboo is also called "Bamboo Silk". The colloquial term "artificial silk" is not permitted under the German Textile Labelling Act (TKG).The weft and warp threads of this Kaschmar are made of cotton. The versatile material is tear-resistant and elastic, which makes it particularly well suited to a hard-wearing foundation.
A note on the photos
Child labour? No thanks.
Child labour? No thanks. Children belong in school, not at a knotting frame or a loom. For us it therefore goes without saying that we only offer rugs made under fair conditions and without child labour.
We attach particular importance to humane working conditions and tolerate no child labour at any of our producers. Thank you for helping us to ensure fair conditions.
That is why we support the initiative Care & Fair against child labour in the rug trade.
