Hand-knotted Vintage Sarough Carpet In A Wonderful Classical Colour Composition Persia 1930s

There are few carpet provenances whose reputation can rival that of Keshan (Kashan). Kashan stands for the highest standards and traditional production of the finest craftsmanship. One of the most famous Persian carpets of all, the Ardebil carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, is said to have been woven here in this city located between Isfahan and Tehran. In the Persian Empire, Keshan was one of the most important trading centers on the famous Silk Road, which still exists today.

Keshan carpets are usually knotted from very good quality wool. Silk is also rarely used. While carpet production experienced a decline in between, it is now back to its former glory. For this reason, Keshan carpets are very popular and appreciated by connoisseurs of the industry. Particularly fine and old keshans made by master weavers are popular with collectors. The warp and weft are made of cotton and the pile is made of high-quality sheep's wool. The dense knotting with Persian knots creates rugs that owners will enjoy for a long time. There is a variety of knotted patterns. Medallions can be found as well as floral ornaments or all-over designs. The color scheme of these Persian rugs with blue, red and beige tones is very traditional.
