Pair of Hand-Knotted Wool Rugs (Persian Kashan Style Area Rug and Caucasian-Style Geometric Runner)

Story

Woven by hand using techniques passed down for generations, these rugs represent a visual language of symbols and regional identity. The floral Kashan pattern reflects the sophisticated court designs of imperial Persia, while the geometric runner carries the nomadic spirit of the steppes, where weavers used stylized motifs to tell stories of their tribes.

Maker / Origin

These rugs are the product of skilled workshop and cottage-industry weavers. The Kashan style originates from one of Iran's oldest oasis cities, famous for its high-quality wool and intricate curvilinear designs.

Condition & Value

Both rugs appear to be in very good vintage condition with full wool piles, no obvious low spots or heavy traffic wear, and intact fringes. The colors remain vibrant without significant fading. Excellent preservation of the fringe on both pieces helps maintain their market value.
