Expert Notes
This is a hand knotted Kerman rug vintage late 1950's to mid 1960's. The rug bears a washing tag in one corner with the the following information “CH 5714” of which our experts believe attribute this rug to “Chatalbash Rug Company,” who once imported similar rugs from Iran to New York. This particular rug does have a narrow horizontal striation in the pile which is called “abrash.” This is not necessarily a defect, nor does it necessarily impact value. There is some gold tinting to the fringe which leads us to believe this rug may have been subject to a “tea wash.” Check with seller for details on fringe strength. Overall, this is a classic mid-century Kerman carpet in what we believe to be in good condition. In accordance with correct rug terminology and industry wide accepted standards by reputable rug sellers, collectors and museums alike, this rug will be considered a semi-antique in several years.
