Retail Value: $36,000.00 History The town of ESFAHAN is situated at the edge of the desert about 250 miles south of Tehran, Yezd and Kerman. For centuries, Esfahan has been renowned for the weaving of fine rugs. The rug weaving industry, like that of Esfahan/Ishahan, was severely damaged when the looms were burned during the war in 1722, and did not recuperate until the late 19th century. A group of rugs known as Seirafian were woven during the last part of the 19th century.  Characteristic of Kashan and Isfahan Rugs Isfahan/Kashan and its surrounding area has a tradition of carpet weaving that spreads out back many centuries, and some of the carpets made here are regarded as among the most drabble and beautiful of all those woven in the Middle East. The weaving of Kashan rugs is done within a 50 mile radius of the city. Kashan rugs are finely woven, although the quality does vary with the finest-quality rugs being woven in the city itself. A variety of designs are found in Kashan rugs. The most common is medallions and all-over floral design. Rugs with a central medallion have a field filled with floral sprays, vines, and tendrils. Traditional colors of red and blue are used also, soft pastels, beige, ivory, light blue and a grayish-green. Kashan rugs come in all sizes. Prayer, portrait, soft and silk carpets are woven in a small format; about 4x6 feet, the same styles are woven in other towns. The kashan style carpets have always been woven over a rather large area of central Persia. If you have any questions regarding any of our items please email us at Drgen007@aol.com Thank!
