Kashan is an important city in central Iran, with
a magnificent history of carpet weaving dating
from the 16th century. Classic pieces show a
diamond-shaped medallion with small matching
spandrels on a floral field, but all-over fields
of Shah Abbas flowers, pictorial and hunting
scenes are also found. They are mostly in wool,
but some have been woven in pure silk.
Traditional theme colors are reds and blues, but
more recently Kashans have been woven in paler
beiges, with greyish-blue and olive-green tones,
for the international market.
