Kashan Rugs
A spectacular antique silk Kashan Rug circa 1890. The detail in the wonderful floral designs is only matched by the border patterns. The weaving skill and patience needed to create this work of art has been truly rewarded in the creation of this piece.
Vacuum your rug frequently and use a vacuum which uses suction and does not have bristles. If possible, set vacuum to low power setting and vacuum the rug up and down and do not use a back-and-forth motion.
If possible, rotate the rug every few years to allow foot traffic to be spread evenly and shade the rug from direct sunlight to avoid fading in areas.
A rug pad is recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping and stop marking if on floors with grooves or lines. Professional cleaning is recommended every two or three years.
