KASHAN RUG

A hand-knotted palace wool carpet on a cotton warp, high-quality and generous handiwork in the spirit of the best traditions of Kashan manufacturers. The carpet's design is extraordinary and depicts the idea of Paradise and, in a narrower sense, lush paradise gardens. The design features rich Persian symbolism of giant palmettes, flowers, scrolls, and flowing water. Upon closer inspection, it is clear that only natural dyes were used. A beautiful classic investment rug.
