More information

"Manchester" Kashan carpets, resembling the second-generation "Mohtashamer", featured a much thicker pile than Kashan carpets from just a few years earlier. Woven with very soft kurk wool, they were finely crafted using expensive materials and were highly sought after in the 1920s and 1930s. These carpets were the ones that the "American" Sarouk carpets attempted to replicate with cheaper and coarser alternatives.
