Kashan (Kachan, Keshan): large city in the center of Iran. At the time of the Persian Renaissance, Kashan was the center of carpet production of legendary splendor. Finely woven carpets of great richness of 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
## The Kadjar dynasty or the Kadjars: (Qājār, Qadjar, Qajar, Persian: قاجار) is a Turkmen dynasty that reigned over Iran from 1786 to 1925.
