Story Behind the Art: The city of Kashan in Turkey lends its name to the exquisite Kashan rugs, known for their superior craftsmanship and tightly woven structure. These rugs showcase intricate arabesques and a diverse array of floral motifs, encompassing palmettos, rosettes, and various blossom and leaf designs. Their appeal lies in the dense patterns, which often feature endless or centralized repeats of floral ornamentation. A prominent design characteristic is the central medallion accompanied by corner spandrels and recurring floral elements, contributing to the rugs' alluring aesthetic.
