Kashan

The Kashan carpet originates in a town of the same name located in the western portion of central Iran. It was a lonely treeless area where the inhabitants found their artistic outlet in carpet weaving and other fine textile production. As the industry developed the quality and fame of the Kashan carpet grew. The design and artistry of the carpet is of a very high standard and it remains today as one of the truly great and classic weaves. Woven in either an all-over design or with a central medallion and corner design, the Kashan carpet is beautifully balanced and graceful. In soft earthtones or richly colored in deep reds and blues, the pallet of colors work in beautiful harmony with the design.
