Antique Persian Kashan Rugs

 

Kashan is located 258 km. south of Tehran. Kashan carpets and rugs have the most curvature pattern and visibility among all the cities in central Iran. The Kashan carpets have very similar pattern. They have a single medallion in center and Persian floral motifs, including arabesques and flower-stems, palmettos, rosettes, blossom and leaf motifs. Kashan carpets are one of the greatest looking carpets in Iran and the world. Ivory, light green and red are predominate. Kashan rugs and carpets have soft wool and thin, tight piles. The foundation (warp and weft) of the rugs is cotton, except in very fine pieces where it is pure silk. Rugs that where made in Kashan have Persian knots. The weave is fine to exceptionally fine.
