Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Kashan carpets originate from the historic city of Kashan in central Iran, a major center for fine textile production since the Safavid period. Renowned for their intricate curvilinear floral designs and central medallions, these carpets represent a classic tradition in Persian weaving.

Traditional Kashan carpets are woven using high-quality wool pile knotted onto a cotton warp and weft foundation. Natural vegetable and mineral dyes are traditionally utilised to achieve rich crimson, deep navy blue, and ivory tones.

Authentic Kashan carpets are identified by their fine asymmetrical (Senneh) knot construction, dense weave, soft wool quality, and distinct design layout featuring a central diamond or oval medallion with floral corner spandrels and multiple surrounding borders.

An antique rug serves as a foundational anchor in modern schemes, creating grounding contrast against minimalist contemporary furniture or complementing classic timber joinery in traditional room settings.

Maintain antique wool carpets by vacuuming regularly without a rotary beater bar, rotating the rug periodically to ensure even foot traffic distribution, and addressing spills immediately by blotting with clean water rather than rubbing.
