Hi I just bought a Used Kashan 10x13 and would like some info on it. It is my first Handmade and I am still learning. It has two tags one that says Kashan but it's a dealer tag and the other is just numbers. There is a words in green red and white, I'm assuming it's a signature. I would like to know if it is indeed a Kashan and what would it be valued at. I bought for 550 and got a cleaning estimate by phone for 495 and if it is of value I will surely pay to the cleaning.

Sounds like a really good deal on the rug . Def $d at a discount. Where did you purchase? As for cleaning, ask them their process - is there a way for them to see it in person to talk to you about I first?

I bought it on Craig's list, I was curious because the price and size and checked it out and l was handmade.
His ad probably only lasted 4 days online. I will be taking the rug in for appraisal Monday to a shop that also does cleanings and I will ask them. Thank you so much for the help!

In the US typical dusting, tank soak, power wash and finishing is around $2.50 / sq.ft. done most entirely by hand in a cash-and-carry type of plant facility. Prices can go up to $6.- or more depending on the extent of what is done, etc., but truthfully $2.50 is the average. So - for a rug 10x13, quote price for drop off at plant on average would be $325.- and I don't believe cleaning is subject to tax but I may be mistaken
