The city of Kasmar (کاشمر) has a great history, its old name is Torshiz. Its rugs are of very high quality and they have been woven for centuries thickly with soft wool and certainly remain the most comfortable of the Persians (see my other Kashmar on my gallery) ## The very soft and fine kork wool is the wool taken from under the neck and belly of the lambs only at the first shearing. The characteristics of Kashmar rugs are the large sizes and unique designs, such as paintings representing trees, flowers, vases or decorations of Persian architecture. They often represent important historical events in Persian history. In Kashmar, masterpieces of great harmony of colors, complexity of designs, and details are woven which show the Persians' love for art and beauty. Kashmar rugs are a delight for decorators, they are resistant and as they age they become more and more beautiful. This rug has been professionally and eco-friendly cleaned.
