Kashan
Right between Isfahan and Tehran, close to the edge of the great desert Dasht-e-Kavir, lies the city of Keshan with 120 000 inhabitants. The city has been famous for a long time for its textiles and its pottery. The Fine Garden, many tradesmen's buildings from the 19th century, and the bazaar could be of interest to visitors. The city was important as a trading place and as a resting place along the Silk Road, but has been in the shadow of Isfahan for some time now.
Superior carpets were manufactured here during the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736). After a period of decline, high-quality carpets were being manufactured again at the end of the 19th century. The carpets are manufactured with high knot density with Persian knot, warp, and weft of cotton, and the wool for the pile is of high quality. The patterns consist of beautifully designed medallions, niches, trees, and figural motifs, as well as all-over floral motifs. Dominating colours are blue, red, and beige.
The quality of these carpets varies a lot; some of them are not even manufactured in Keshan, but are still sold under this name.
