SKU #: 1700330018 About Kashmar Rugs
The Kashmar is a relatively rare carpet produced
by master weavers in the province of Khorassan,
in north-eastern Iran. The small city of Kashmar
is very old, responsible for producing exquisite
carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily
distinguishable because of their unique designs
and their large size. The patterns are usually
historic tableaux telling the story of a
significant event in Persian history. Frequently
there are views of the ancient ruins and
sculpture of Persepolis, the kings Darius and
Xerxes, and birds and animals from the Rubayat of
Omar Khayam. There are also Kashmar carpets which
resemble the classic Kashan, with central
medallion and spandrels.
