Carpets
Kahkeshan, and six designs that recur in our work, each with its own specification.
The Kahkeshan image is a photograph of the carpet itself. The other six images are placeholders — graphic panels, not photographs of carpets. Each one will be replaced with a photograph of the actual carpet once the shoot is done, and the specifications will be updated after final measurement.
A central medallion on a field that shifts from yellow to rust, with four dark corner forms.
A central medallion on an open field with a narrow border. The design leaves the weave nowhere to hide, so the fineness shows directly.
A central medallion with a corner medallion in each of the four corners. This is the structure the name ChaharToranj comes from.
A narrative design with human and animal figures. The slowest of these six to weave, by several months.
No medallion — flowers and vines scattered evenly across the whole field. It suits rooms where furniture will cover part of the carpet.
An arched frame with a column on either side. The design is directional — it has a definite top and bottom — and is often chosen to hang on a wall.
A vase at the foot of the field with branches opening upward from it. At smaller sizes it is usually woven as a decorative rug.
Reading the numbers
Knot density is how many knots are tied in each square centimetre. The higher it goes, the finer and more legible the design becomes — and the longer the carpet takes to weave.
Origin is where the silk was sourced. We use natural Qom silk, and if a carpet is ever woven with silk from somewhere else, that is what the specification will say.
Dimensions are the finished size after weaving. If you need a different size, we will tell you whether it can be done.
Conversation
We can walk you through the dimensions, the colour range, the weaving time and the price range.
