Kashan (Kachan, Keshan): large city in the center of Iran.
At the time of the Persian Renaissance, Kashan was the center of production of carpets of legendary splendor.
Finely woven carpets, of a 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 invasion of the Afghans (1722) and the end of the 19th century.
The revival of carpet production began with carpets that are distinguished by the superior quality of the wool giving an extremely velvety appearance. These examples are called Kashan Motashemi, from the name of the most famous master weaver of the end of the 19th century.
The decorations are varied and offer a meticulous craftsmanship: hunting scenes, subjects with figures inspired by Persian mythology, birds in a plant decor, trees of life.
Thanks to the superior quality of the wool, their tight knotting, the beauty of their natural colors and their designs, the Kashan took their place among the best Persian carpets.
This magnificent Kashan with unusual decoration, has bright colors and is mainly composed of large medallions on a cream field that is repeated on the border, the kork wool is clean and soft. Its decoration as well as its colors are characteristic of this origin.
Both very rich and fine in its lines, this decoration was executed by the weaver using a previously drawn cardboard, as can be seen from the accuracy of the patterns in the corner of the borders.
This carpet has been professionally and ecologically cleaned.

##     The world of carpets represents an immense and complex field that requires knowledge and seriousness.
         Knowing at least the origins, the names, and the manufacturing process seems obvious to me...
         It's a job that can't be improvised!!!
