Why Kashan Rugs are highly rated?

Kashan is a city in the northern part of Isfahan Province, Iran. The city's name is thought to come from the name Casian, given to the original inhabitants of the city. This region was one of the primary areas of civilization in historic times. In recent history, Kashan was an important centre for the production of high-quality pottery and tiles. Some say Kashan comes from the word "tile"; in Farsi, we say kashi.

Geographically, Kashan is divided into two parts: mountains and desert. The east side of the city of Kashan opens to the central, vast deserts of Iran. Therefore, Kashan sits at the junction where the cool air of the west meets the dry, hot wind of the desert. This unique location has given rise to a diverse range of flora and fauna, as well as a rich cultural heritage.

Some of the most popular tourist attractions in Kashan include:

  • The Fin Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • The Agha Bozorg Mosque, a beautiful example of Islamic architecture
  • The Tabatabaei House, a traditional Iranian home that has been converted into a museum
  • The Bazaar, a bustling marketplace where you can find everything from souvenirs to traditional handicrafts

 

Looking at the pictures, you can see Timche-Amin-o-Duleh in Baazar Kashan in the 19th century. Persian architects use these structures to naturally decrease temperature, regulate sunlight, and ventilate the interior spaces during the daytime. Tabatabaeei's house in the early nineteenth century, Bagh-e-Fin, and so on.

Kashan rugs are characterized by their specific breeding techniques and use of high-quality materials, colours, and styles. The main colours used in this region are blue and red. The red originally came from the Rubia plant known as Ghermez-e-Ronasi. Rang-e-Nil indigo is used to create the navy blue.

The main group of styles in the Kashan carpet category consists of the central medallion, a field of flowers, and intricate corners sealed with varying vine borders. This style of design was first developed by miniature painters as they began appearing in book illustrations and book covers. This 16th-century Quran is now kept at the MET museum in New York.

The diamond medallion in the centre with four corners is the Lachak-Turanj, which has passed on to the weaving craft of Persian carpets for over 500 years. The medallion is based on the central circle, with the diamond symbolizing the individual. This basic geometry brings harmony between our inside and the outside world. Kashan rugs demonstrate this style in its most simple and delicate form and have been one of the most popular rugs over the centuries.

They light up a room in a simple yet magical way. A Kashan rug has a deep cultural significance and charming stories behind its beauty.
