About Persian Kashan Rugs

Take a look at the photos of our Pesian Kashan rugs. They all look quite similar in colour and design. Indeed the Kashan rug is the quintessential Persian Carpet. The intricate interwoven design, the rich jewel like colours are the basic ingredients for the library carpet on an Agatha Christie film set. Add in a few jewels and you'd surely have Aladdin's perfect utility vehicle.
In reality each of these rugs is quite different. What's not apparant from the pictures is the fineness of the knot, the gloss of the high quality wool and the subtlty of shading that makes one Kashan rug stand out from another. That difference is reflected in the price I'm prepared to pay from a rug.
There is quite a history to the weaving of carpets and rugs in Kashan. If you've a mind to read on further down the page I'll cover that interesting heritage.
An interesting and popular variation on the red and blue theme is this lovely pistachio green and blue rug also from Kashan.
