DescriptionKashan - DabirA particularly fine typed Kashan rug primarily woven in the interwar period in the town of Natanz in central Persia, near Kashan. The patterns are complex, often overall in layout; the pile is low with a firm velvet texture. The all cotton foundation supports a fine weave up to 300 knots/square inch. The many colors are rich and varied. Most production is in 4 x 6 sizes (dozar) and only a few large carpets were woven. They are rarely found, and display a true Persian taste and sensibility. | |
