Story Behind the Art: Kashan rugs derive their identity from the historic city of Kashan in central Iran, a region long celebrated for its disciplined weaving standards and refined aesthetic language. Known for their tight knotting and superior craftsmanship, Kashan rugs are characterized by densely arranged floral compositions featuring arabesques, palmettes, rosettes, blossoms, and delicately articulated leaf forms. Designs often revolve around a central medallion enhanced by pendant elements, framed by corner spandrels and continuous floral repetition. During the 16th century, the Kashan tradition expanded beyond Iran when skilled weavers and dyers were brought to areas of present-day Pakistan and India, where exceptionally high-quality Kashan-style rugs were produced—some rivaling or even surpassing their Persian counterparts in precision and beauty.
