Founded in 1928 in Eden, North Carolina, Karastan set out to produce machine-made rugs that could match — and in some ways exceed — the design refinement and material quality of the finest hand-woven Persian productions. Through a combination of proprietary power-loom technology, premium wool, and design programs developed in collaboration with Persian rug scholars and collectors, Karastan produced rugs that became the gold standard for machine-made wool quality in the American market. Their designs were drawn directly from the great masterworks of the Persian weaving tradition — court rugs from Tabriz, Isfahan, and Kashan — scaled and adapted for the American domestic interior. 🌿\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🗺️ \u003cstrong\u003eThe Samovar Teawash Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Samovar Teawash 902 is one of the most celebrated patterns in the Karastan canon. The design draws from the classical Persian floral tradition, with an all-over composition of graceful floral sprays and scrolling vines rendered in a soft, muted palette of ivory, light blue, pale rose, sage green, and warm tan. The defining characteristic of the Samovar Teawash is its finish: the teawash treatment gentles the colors and gives the rug an authentically aged appearance. The result is a rug that looks as though it has been living gracefully in a well-appointed room for decades. 🎨\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis treatment makes Samovar Teawash pieces particularly appealing to buyers who love the chalky, faded aesthetic of antique Persian rugs but want the practical benefits of a machine-made piece: consistent pile height, clean construction, and the durability of power-loom weaving. 📜\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📐 \u003cstrong\u003eConstruction and Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rug is machine-made in the USA by Karastan in 100% premium wool.
