Kashan (Kachan, Keshan): large city in central Iran.
During the Persian Renaissance, Kashan was the center of carpet production of legendary splendor.
Finely woven carpets, of very rich composition, were knotted by the royal factory of Shah Abbas.
They have become the centerpieces of museums and private collections.
Craftsmanship was interrupted in Kashan between the Afghan invasion (1722) and the end of the 19th century.
The revival of carpet production began with carpets which are distinguished by the superior quality of the wool giving an extremely velvety appearance.
These examples are called Kashan Motashemi, named after the most famous master weaver of the late 19th century.
The settings are varied and meticulously crafted: hunting scenes, figured subjects inspired by Persian mythology, birds in a plant setting, trees of life. Thanks to the superior quality of the wool, their tight knotting, the beauty of their natural colors and their designs, Kashan took their place among the best Persian carpets.
## This magnificent medallion Kashan has very bright colors and is mainly composed of a large medallion, interlacing, arabesques and flowers, the kork wool is clean, fine and soft. Impeccable velvet, selvedges and fringes, very good.
The good reading of the decor of this room is highlighted, thanks to the white and pale blue, which perfectly cut out the darker lines. Its decoration and its colors are characteristic of this provenance and this period, mainly deep red and midnight blue.
Both very rich and fine in its lines, this decoration was executed by the weaver using previously drawn cardboard, as can be seen from the accuracy of the patterns in the corner of the borders, perfection down to the millimeter. .
This rug has been professionally and eco-friendly cleaned.
