RUG NAME: 1945 Gaswin from Central Persia, 154 x 105 cm
GALLERY: Kazvin
CATEGORY: Persian
AGE: 1945
ID(Jozan): no. 2739
DESCRIPTION: Carpet No. (Type and Reference): 0317 TH15561
DESCRIPTION OF DESIGN AND HISTORY:
Gaswin, or Kasvin, is a city in the northern part of Iran. It was formerly the capital of the Safavid empire in the mid-sixteenth century. It was probably the design source for rugs such as the Sanguszko carpet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The city was a source, between the First and Second World Wars, of medallion rugs very similar to Sarouks. The foundation is cotton and the knot density is between 130 to 200 knots per square inch. Kasvin is an American trade designation for rugs woven in the city of Hamadan. Alvand and Ecbetana are European trade designations for the same rug. Structurally, they are distinguished from the rugs of the Hamadan area in that they are double-wefted rather than single-wefted.
