Since the 17th century - that’s the Safavid dynasty, by the way, the great rulers would retreat to Kashan for the holidays. Around that same time, Kashan became renowned for its rugs. In fact, carpet-making is still a popular profession among the people of Kashan today.
Kashan rugs are known for their use of high-quality materials, like silk, the finest cotton, and the softest wools. Designs traditionally include a medallion in the center, on a red and navy background, with ivory borders. Kashan carpets are dyed with natural sources such as plants like madder root, walnut skin, pomegranate skin, and vine leaves.
Look for something from magnificent Kashan , a city rich in history and overflowing with tradition.
By the way, if you want to learn more, we found this amazing video by UNESCO , and it's all about the carpet-making industry in Kashan. Enjoy!
