Fine Quality Persian Kashan

Kashan stands for the highest standards and traditional production of the finest craftsmanship. One of the most famous Persian carpets of all, the Ardebil rug in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, is said to have been knotted here in this city between Isfahan and Tehran. In the Persian Empire, Kashan was considered one of the most important trading places on the famous Silk Road, which still exists today. This design with the 'Tree of Life" pattern, features a central tree in this case with detailed blossoms and birds. It is said to symbolize the connection between the earth and the heavens. Despite of the many warm coloured figures on the blue field, a mastery on colour, the spacing between them is so harmonious that there is a sense of everything being perfectly placed.
