FAQs

Mohtasham Kashan rugs originate from the city of Kashan in central Persia and are celebrated for their exceptionally fine weave, superior Kork wool, and intricate floral or medallion designs crafted by master weavers.

These rugs are traditionally hand-knotted using high-grade Kork wool pile on a cotton foundation, employing asymmetrical Persian knots that allow for high knot density and intricate pattern detailing.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the fineness of the weave, the quality and softness of the wool, natural vegetable dye variations, and the specific structural characteristics of the foundation and selvedges.

An antique oriental rug adds texture and heritage to contemporary spaces, working well as a grounding element on hardwood floors or layered over neutral jute flooring to create visual contrast.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater bar, professional specialist cleaning when necessary, and avoiding direct sunlight to protect the natural dyes from fading.
