Kashan Rug

Kashan Persian rug is a traditional handwoven carpet originating from the city of Kashan in central Iran, which has been one of the most important and historic centers for Persian carpet production for centuries. These rugs are highly prized for their exceptional craftsmanship, artistic designs, and high-quality materials, especially the use of fine wool and silk.

Kashan rugs have a long and rich history that dates back to the Safavid dynasty in the 16th and 17th centuries, a golden age for Persian arts and crafts. During this time, Kashan became a major hub for weaving, supported by royal patronage and a flourishing artistic culture. Some of the finest antique Persian carpets now held in museums and private collections around the world were woven in Kashan during this era.
