KASHAN

Large KASHAN rug with a central medallion pattern. KASHAN rugs are named after the city of the same name, which owes its name to the glazed Kashi tiles, typical of the region. The city of KASHAN dates back 8,000 years and reached its peak during the Safavid and Seljuk periods. KASHAN rugs are distinguished by their high quality wool pile and soft texture. They often feature medallions or figurative patterns, but sometimes they also display full-field floral designs.
