Vintage Fine Kashan Navy Lachak Toranj Persian Rug
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.
Traditional carpet weaving techniques in Kashan were chosen as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, by UNESCO.
