Persian Kashan Rug - 1.88x1.16 Rug - Ah 332 SquareZobeida, the favourite wife of the famous Caliph Haroun al Rasheed, established the town of Kashan, which is situated between Tehran and Isfahan. The Kashan district is possibly one of the best producers of Persian carpets. These carpets have taken the name of the region, and are simply referred to as the Kashan. Due to the very high quality of the wool, the very fine weaving and the beautiful colours and designs, Kashans have come to be classified
Tabas rugs are knotted in central Iran
Large carpets are mainly made by fairly rough yarn on cotton warp with a rustic design
The impression that one gets looking at the carpet is that the designer went to great lengths to insure he managed to fill the carpet with as many flowers as possible
there is the presence of camels (meaning wealth – perhaps oil wells would be more immediately understood today as carrying this meaning) and the inscription which promises at the end of endurance more soulful and spiritual rewards such as unity and loyalty
The symbolism in this rug is profound
This magnificent Isfahan rug is largely composed of silk base with wool
The carpet comes form the city of Tabriz
The tones are earthy but also romantic floral
This is a magnificent silk foundation carpet from the city of Isfahan
The hues and tones of the central medallion are a perfect focus point and a strong component of the carpet as is its shape
and are simply referred to as the "Kashan"
ranging from classical reds to vibrant greens and golds
