70684 Antique Machine-Made European Rug, 11'01 x 11'10.

Antique machine-made European rugs with Persian Kermanshah designs are rugs produced in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries using mechanical looms. These rugs mimic the intricate patterns and rich colors of traditional Persian Kermanshah rugs, known for their floral motifs, medallions, and elaborate borders. The European versions were made from materials like wool, silk, or cotton, and while they offered more consistent patterns and faster production compared to hand-knotted Persian rugs, they typically had a less refined texture.

Countries such as France, Belgium, and England were prominent producers of these rugs, catering to the Western market's demand for oriental designs. These rugs represent a fusion of Eastern artistry and Western manufacturing techniques, reflecting the cultural and commercial exchanges between Europe and Persia during that era. Antique machine-made European rugs with Persian Kermanshah designs are appreciated for their historical significance, aesthetic appeal, and the craftsmanship involved, despite being produced by machines.
