<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 423826, member: 8363&quot;]I bought a used handmade Kashan rug recently with one fringed end and one end not.&nbsp; It is large but an odd size, so it is not intended to be wall to wall unless they have different room sizes in Iran.&nbsp; When I took it to an Oriental carpet business to get it cleaned, the owner told me that one end was where the loom was and it was a decorative choice to leave this one unfringed.&nbsp; My thought was to get the other end fringed to match, but he was adamant that I should leave it as is.&nbsp; Since this meant he would lose the profit from the work from adding fringe, I believed that this was true.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know anything about rugs, so this is purely anecdotal but it might explain why one edge was fringed on your rug and one was not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
