Deve
Size: 9’10 x 13’6
Origin: Kashan, Persia
Pile: High
Age: 1870s-1910s
Material: Wool and silk blend on cotton foundation
Originally a traditional red rug, the dyes in Deve have aged into tones of coffee, tan, and camel. Buyers should note that the rug is flecked with white where foundation threads peek through: we’ve pictured it here but are happy to provide more up close pictures on request. This is a feature of older rugs and does not threaten the rug’s integrity. Kashan rugs of this size were used in large, formal residences. The fading on this rug suggests its placement in a room with windows on many sides, a feature of the aristocratic Kashan homes that made liberal use of courtyards in the era before electric wiring was widespread.
