The Karastan Rug Story
Karastan area rugs used to be called "Mystery Rugs" or "Wonder Rugs
of America" because during the 1933-34 Chicago World’s Fair, Karastan invited
the world to walk on an oversized version of its classic Kirman pattern. Over 5
million people walked on that rug. Afterward, they cleaned half of it so one could
see how well it recovered its original beauty and luster. The other half of the
rug was left in its filthy, almost unrecognizable state. That rug can still be seen
today at the Karastan home office.
Karastan has been an American maker of fine machine-woven wool rugs for over three
quarters of a century. Since its beginning in 1928 when the American retailer and
textile manufacturer Marshall Field built and patented an Axminster loom capable
of recreating the detailed craftsmanship of hand-woven rugs, Karastan has continued
to grow its reputation for elegant styling and fine quality. Karastan rugs are machine-woven
in the U.S.A. of the finest grade of imported worsted wool yarn.
