For many
people, the word Iran represents the picture of colorful Iranian carpets with
their eye-catching motifs and designs. The weavers in each city or even village
of Iran, weave their own kind of carpets (kilims, rugs, etc.) showing the
culture and legend of that specific area.
With ancient
historical and cultural background, Kashan Rug is one of the finest samples of
Iranian carpet and is known to be registered as an intangible heritage site by
the UNESCO. Like many other Persian Carpets, Kashan Rug takes its name from the
city of its origin. Kashan which is one of the top travel destinations in Iran
is a desert city located in the heart of Isfahan province.

Kashan Rug
is usually known for its amazing designs like Lachak Toranj (Medallion and
corners), showing a medallion at the center which is surrounded by four
quadrant circles, and Tree Vase Design which pictures a beautifully twisted
tree of life. Traditional colors like rich reds, blues, ivory, yellow and burnt
orange complete the magic of beauty. Staring at dancing spirals and beaming
floral motifs on a Kashan Rug will sweetly drown you in Persian dream. Carpet
weavers in Kashan are still among the most active carpet producers in Iran and
you can easily go to a carpet workshop which is really worth visiting while
traveling in the historical city of Kashan.
