The Kashan Persian carpet originates from a historic oasis on the Silk Road. Its famed 19th-century royal workshops were born of noble commissions, continuing a weaving tradition centuries old. The design is the archetypal Persian carpet—timeless, balanced, and harmonious. As the world’s best-selling style, it is also the most recognizable.
Each intricate motif, drawn from flowers and nature, is a symbolic expression of Paradise.

Cultural Background:
The ancient city of Kashan was an important oasis on the edge of Iran’s central desert. A centre of trade, it was an important hub on the Silk Road, an intersection where patterns, motifs, culture and meanings were constantly traded and exchanged.  The result is art rich in culture, meaning and history. 
The city of Kashan was once a favorite of Persian royalty, a creative centre known for its thriving artistic communities and renowned for weaving since the Savavid dynasty in the 16th century.

Craftsmanship:
Kashan carpets are  handknotted by weavers with generational skill, using a Persian (asymmetrical) knot. The pile is traditionally made from wool and the foundation is cotton. Each rug can take several months to years to complete, depending on the size and knot density.

Design & Color Palette:
Kashan carpets are remain traditional and are known for their balanced, harmonious compositions in red, blue, cream and (sometimes) pistacio green fields contained by ornate borders.
