Object History

Josheghan is a village in the Isfahan Province of central Persia, situated near the historical city of Kashan. It was one of the early weaving villages for large carpets without a city workshop facility. Early examples of the 17th and 18th centuries can be found in museums, and historic and stately homes.

Object Condition

This early Joshegan has minor age-related wear, but is in good practical condition for everyday use.  The light wear adds great patina and character, and the array of vegetable-dyed colours have wonderfully aged.
