Kashan Rugs
KASHAN RUGS
Persian rugs of very fine grain and closeness of texture and a notably short and velvety pile. The patterns are flowers in rows or on graceful curling stems with foliage. Usually there is a diamond-shaped medallion centrepiece. The borders are elaborate and frequently have as many as seven stripes. Cotton warp and dyed blue weft. There are two picks between each row of the wool tufts which are tied in " Senna knots." The colouring is dark and sombre, but rich.
