Kashan carpets: This special category of handmade carpets comes from the historical city of Kashan, where local artists used to decorate the palace of Shah Abash the Great, during the Persian Renaissance. They are characterized by a dense grid of floral motifs, while in the center of the carpet is usually depicted an impressive large floral medallion, surrounded by flowers and arabesques. Very often in Kashan carpets we can see figural motifs, such as the image of a man praying on his knees. The dominant colors of Kashan rugs are deep red and blue, combined with yellow and green.  Most of them are large-sized carpets, as they were manufactured to decorate huge palaces and public places. The main material used in Kashan rugs is refined wool and cotton in the warp.
