The fringe is very short and has been secured many years ago to prevent any losses to the actual rug and the design. It is also rare to find this smaller – 5’5″ x 3’7″ size in antique Kashan rugs, as more often we find them 6-7 feet long and 4 feet wide. We have throughly washed this antique rug which has softened the pile nicely.

Kashans are highly treasured and classed among the very best Persian carpets and rugs. Kashan is north of Isfahan in the centre of Persia, this is also a town where fine rugs and carpets were woven, both have similarities in design and colour. The best antique Kashan rugs were woven from the late 19th to the beginning of the 20th century. During this time period, the finest and highest quality antique Kashan rugs were commissioned for individual homes predominately for the Western market. The finest examples are sought after by antique rug collectors or for decorative purposes to use on the floor.
