Kashan Rugs

Kashan rugs sometimes referred to as Keshan rugs can be found at Aviram Aziz, Inc, a world famous dealer and seller of the finest Antique and Decorative Rugs.  These fine and exquisite hand woven rugs are named for the city where they originated from-Keshan.  This small city located in central Iran on the edge of the Kavir desert was sometimes called an oasis city for it was a common resting place for those traveling on the ancient Silk Road.  Although the city was relativity small in population, textiles and pottery were well known to the Western world because of its prime location on the Silk Road.
Kashan rugs are typically made with wool or cotton pile.  The finer rugs are made with silk.  Occasionally, you can find these classic beauties made of special wool referred to as kurk wool from the neck of lamb.  These rugs, like many ancient Persian rugs, typically contain a large central medallion with a surrounding geometric pattern.  These rigs may have a dense pattern with intricately designed motifs including florals, arabesques, palmettos, rosettes and leaves.  The dominant or background colors vary and include blues, reds, light greens and beiges. Kashan rugs may come in any size, however, the most common is a mid-size rug.  Like their other Persian rug counterparts, these hand woven masterpieces are revered for their high density knot counts using a Persian knot and their unique intricate design.  Some of these patterns and styles have been passed down from generation to generation from before the 17th century,

Silk rugs often have a soothing feel when compared to the ones that are manufactured using wool. These rugs are extremely soft and give a soothing effect to the surface on which it is laid. These rugs are also often more expensive than those made using wool or cotton. Very often you will be able to see that warp and wefts of Turkish carpets are woven using silk for giving it a thin yam. This method is followed as fewer strands are required for the same length. Silk fibers are usually long when compared to the cotton fibers. Silk may sometimes be used in the knots of oriental carpets for highlighting designs. Floral designs are often found to be enhanced when woven using silk.
Silk rugs demand extreme care and good maintenance. As they are not as durable as wool rugs, it is not appropriate to use them as floor coverings. These rugs are most suited to be used as coverings for furniture and beds. Also special care should be given while cleaning rugs made out of silk. These rugs are sensitive to wear and tear. No harsh chemicals or detergents should be used while cleaning these rugs. It is preferable to vacuum clean these rugs once in a while to keep them in optimum condition. Oriental rugs and carpets made from Silk are more than often prone to damages. So it is recommended that you do not display these rugs and carpets in places where they are likely to be damaged.
Antique Silk made oriental rugs use silks sourced from cocoon farmed in Bursa. This natural silk is quite strong and durable compared to the floss silk which is used in modern oriental carpets. So if you are looking for a silk rug which stands the test of time, it is preferable to go for Antique Silk rugs. Often silk is complemented with silver and gold threads in traditional oriental rugs. These threads impart a marvelous shiny effect to the rugs. The panache of such form of rugs is unmatchable by regular oriental rugs. Silk rugs complemented with gold and silver are usually available at expensive price tags. You can find an elaborate collection of such rugs from our website. Silk rugs have to be chosen with care as they are expensive, but we will ensure that we provide top quality silk rugs and necessary services to ensure that you can use them for longer period of time.
