    Product Detail

    Kashan rugs are handwoven in traditional workshops in the small city of Kashan, north-central Iran.

    Kork Kashans are the benchmark modern Kashan weaves; the wool is lustrous and soft to touch. Fine Kork wool is hand-clipped from lambs that graze in the northern mountainous regions of Iran and sourced from the underbelly of the animal.
    Designs are usually intricate floral central medallion with spandrels, similar to Sarouks. Other design variations including, open field flowing designs and medallion design are also produced.

    Most Kashan rugs are woven with a red field and a contrasting navy blue border. A Pistachio colour variation exists, featuring a soft green field with highlights of blues and Red - this soft colour palette is a favourite amongst Australian decors.
    Beautiful Kashan rugs have been crafted here since the 17th century during the Safavid dynasty, with many scholars believing that some of the smaller silk designs date back to the early 16th century. Kashan was a holiday retreat for many of the rulers of the Safavid era, benefiting from stunning architecture and the city is renowned for its stunning holiday homes. The rugs made in Kashan are often instantly recognisable and are amongst the most beautiful and famous of all Persian rugs. For many, when they think of a Persian rug, the image they see in their head is that of the traditional Kashan rug with central medallion on a red field with navy and ivory borders ,

    Kashan rugs are typically high-quality, many incorporating silk into their designs. The foundation tends to be cotton however some of the finest examples may be pure silk. The wool should be soft and the pile tightly knotted. The knot count (KPSI) can range from 100 to over 800 per square inch for the most majestic (and expensive) examples. The majority of Kashan's have a similar design with a central medallion and Persian floral motifs forming the pattern, however as with most regions, designs may vary. Popular colours are ivory, red, blue and soft greens. The city is home to the oldest existing garden in Iran, the Fin Garden, and this garden also acts as a muse for many of the city's designs.
