Kashan Old Red 63238

Kashan Carpets are hand-knotted in the city of Keshan and its surroundings. Distinguished carpets were already tied here during the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736). After a period of decline, high-class carpets began to be tied again at the end of the 19th century. The rugs are tightly knotted with a Persian knot, the warp and weft are made of cotton and the pile is of high quality. The patterns consist of beautifully designed medallion, niche, tree and figural motifs, but there are also overpatterned floral motifs. Dominated by the colors blue, red and beige.
