Antique Kazvin Rugs

Antique Kazvin Rugs and Carpets Kazvin, Gazvin, Qazvin, Qazvines rugs are not from the city of Qazvin or that surrounding areas. Earlyhe 20th century OCM or perhaps even under its earlier name Baker Brothers the English company started commercial rug production in the city of Hamadan. The rugs are very different from Hamadan rugs which are made with a single shot of weft between each row of Turkish knots while the Qazvin use two shots of weft inbetween rows of Persian knots. The old Kazvin rugs were a quality rug and were similar to a Manchester Kashan rugs.  The wool is fine as one sees in a Manchester Kashan and while the rug is not fine compared to newer rugs the rugs are sturdy and well made with plenty of wool pile to standup well to the rigors of western home use.
