Kashan. The city of Kashan is in Central Iran and home of the Classic central medallion Persian rug. The Kashan has been copied and used for machine made rugs and even mouse pads and has been recognised as one of the best Persian rug type and design. The design has great balance of proportions from the central medallion, field of palmettes to the borders.
What some people don’t know is that Kashan is actually a town in Central Iran. These are the real Kashans. Mostly the good quality woollen handmade Kashan rugs have a red field with ivory borders.
The designs come from 16th century mystic mathematicians, educated Sufis, ahead of the European world at the time. They were looking at an equation that would explain all. One of the devices was to section flowers, especially the rose, at various angles and measure the space between the petals. These “palmettes” bloom in profusion amid acanthus leaves and arabesques, forming a picture of paradise, a garden of Eden.

Kashan. The city in Central Iran is considered the home of the classic Central Medallion Persian rug.
The Kashan is both exciting and gently calming. Because the design and hues relax as well as excite, it has been copied in rugs, mouse pads, scarves and ties, in fact everywhere good design is needed.
Worldwide it is probably the second most popular design pattern after the Paisley, which, interestingly, is also Persian.
When I was last in Kashan, 2018, there was a derelict old caravanserai traditional shopping centre ripe for a refurb into a boutique hotel. Ambience perfect, a short-term dream.
Kashan does two things well; rugs and rose oil. The Kashan rug is famous and is probably the most recognised worldwide. In spring and autumn there are small rose oil stills lining a few streets. The smell is wonderful but the pure oil can be A$20/ml in 30 ml bottles.
Kashan is an elegant small city, its inhabitants of a measured pace. They can weave a carpet for a year or two, never thinking of the finished product but aware of just the warp and weft of their lives intersecting.
The designs come from 16th century mystic mathematicians, educated Sufis, ahead of the European world at the time. They were looking at an equation that would explain all. One of the devices was to section flowers, especially the rose, at various angles and measure the space between the petals. These “palmettes” bloom in profusion amid acanthus leaves and arabesques, forming a picture of paradise, a garden of Eden.
This is guaranteed to enhance health and wealth and to ensure all is achieved in a comfortably calm and enlightened manner. Pure Persian sensibility.
