The 6x9 in particular is extremely sought after. The rug will arrive folded in thirds on the 10’ length, rolled, tied, and wrapped in reinforced tarp, then skin wrapped. It weighs 105 pounds according to FedEx. I am told 70 pounds and over to 150 pounds can only be shipped to a business address or a FedEx location. This means if I utilize FedEx, the buyer would have to pick up at a local FedEx location. I add $25 in materials in wrapping (which is paid to FedEx), plus roughly $10 in additional insurance over $10 to $1000, when shipped via FedEx. I may also reach out to a freight company who would deliver to your front door, for quotes. Please see my feedback on previous rugs sold. PLEASE REACH OUT before making a purchase with any questions or ideas for shipping. Thank you. Please see all images for condition details. Any questions, please ask. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER ITEMS Karastan is an American made brand of oriental rugs, made from 1928 to 2021 from worsted wool. In 1921, the American retailer Marshall Field's established a textile mill in Eden, North Carolina, USA, as part of its Homecrest Rug division. In 1928, one of its engineers, Eugene Clark, modified the Axminster broadlooms to make something closely resembling a handwoven carpet. These rugs were then marketed under the invented name "Karastan" with individual names based on famous rug-producing areas in Asia such as Ispahan, Kirman, Sarouk, Oushak or Turkoman. The brand made a name for itself at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, when a Karastan rug was placed on the floor for 12 million people to walk across, proving its durability. The 1937 "Kirman 717" carpet became the company's bestseller, and proved so durable that it is now also traded as an antique. In 1953, the rug business was sold to a Boston investment company and reincorporated as Fieldcrest Mills. That company merged with the textile company Cannon Mills to become Fieldcrest Cannon in 1986, resulting in a bankruptcy as well as mass layoffs and labor disputes. In 1993, Mohawk Industries purchased the Karastan business. In 2021, it closed the Eden production facilities and ended wool rug production, consolidating its textile production in Georgia where synthetic carpets will continue to be made under the Karastan brand. Introducing a stunning Karastan rug from the late 19th-early 20th century. This traditional rectangular rug features a beautiful Sarouk regional design in red and midnight blue colors, made with high-quality wool material and a power-loomed weave. The rug's traditional style and flower theme will add an oriental touch to your decor. It is recommended to professionally clean this original, USA-made rug to maintain its quality.
