Hand-knotted Persian Keshan rug – 250 × 345 cm – wool on cotton
Asking price: €1,450 | Starting bids: €1,200
A generous, hand-knotted Persian Keshan rug with a classic medallion design and deep, rich color. This type of Keshan is known for its balanced composition, refined detailing, and timeless appearance. It's a rug that stands out not for its loudness, but for its tranquility and coherence.
The rug is hand-knotted from wool on a cotton warp. The wool is full and supple; the rug drapes beautifully and is not stiff. The pile is even and distinct, indicating careful use and good quality wool. In everyday light, the colors appear warm and layered, with a beautiful contrast between the red field and the dark blue border.
The rug features a classic Keshan-style design, recognizable by its central medallion, balanced border, and fine, floral detailing. These characteristics create a harmonious whole that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
With a size of approximately 250 × 345 cm, this rug is ideal as a focal point in a living or dining room. It brings visual tranquility and connects the space without dominating. The rug is stable and showcases its craftsmanship, even on the reverse, where the hand-knotted texture is clearly visible.
It is in good and honest condition, with minor signs of wear commensurate with its age. The edges are sturdy and intact. The fringe shows slight wear on one side; this was deliberately photographed and does not detract from the quality or appearance, but underscores the character of an authentic, used, hand-knotted rug.
This is not a decorative rug, but a handcrafted object with character. Suitable for someone who values materials, craftsmanship, and provenance, and who consciously chooses quality over trends.
