ABOUT THIS PIECE
Finely handwoven from high-quality handspun wool on a cotton foundation in an iteration of the famous Lachak Toranj motif in the highly reputed rug-weaving city of Kashan, Central Iran.
Kashan carpet is one of the best urban carpets in Iran and the direct legacy of the “Golden Age of Persian Weaving”. One of the distinctive characteristics of Kashan rugs is their exceptional fineness, so that the details of all the motifs are clearly visible, as well as the velvet-like surface which is due to the use of excellent wool. furthermore, Kashan is the birthplace of dyeing in the world, and this has led to the use of superior dyes in Kashan carpets.
Woven over half a century ago this carpet still maintains its natural lustre and shine due to high-quality materials and tightly woven construction.
Traditional carpet weaving techniques in Kashan were chosen as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, by UNESCO.

How it sits in your room.
203 × 109 CM (6'8" × 3'7"), DRAWN TO SCALE WITH TYPICAL AUSTRALIAN FURNITURE SIZES.
Small beside a 3-seater sofa. It suits a reading corner, under an armchair or across an entry better than a sofa setting.
Only 15 cm of rug would show beyond even a four-seat table, so the chairs would sit off it. This one belongs in a living room or bedroom.
Only 25 cm of rug would show either side of a queen bed. It works, but 45 cm or more looks settled. At the foot of the bed it suits well.
Measure the room, or just the area the rug should cover, and we will draw this rug in it to scale.
