Kashan oriental rugs are named for the city of Kashan, the capital city of the Isfahan province in north-central Iran. Kashan is one of Iran's oldest cities and was a well-known center of silk production, resulting in some of the finest Persian silk rugs of ancient times.
Kashan rugs are extraordinarily finely knotted In Kashmir (India). They employ either a graceful teardrop medallion or intricately detailed allover blossom and leaf patterns.
