A city in central Iran, kashan production began during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732) and particularly under the reign of Shah Abbas. Very beautiful traditional kashan with medallion, in mian farsh format, reminiscent of the academic achievements of the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732). Under the reign of Shahs Abbas (1588-1629), schools were created to train Ustads (Master weavers) who made carpet designs. The designs were inspired by the Persian tradition by reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic patterns or bas-reliefs (Persepolis) ...

This kachan is the perfect example of this tradition. In the center, two blue and beige medallions are inserted into a navy blue medallion. Four spandrels, reminiscent of the central medallion, as well as borders with the 'herati' or 'samovari' (flower) motif frame the field of the carpet, which is composed of a multitude of flowers and foliage on a deep red background.
