Kashan is an important city in central Iran, with a magnificent history of carpet weaving dating from the 16th century. Classic pieces show a diamond-shaped medallion with small matching spandrels on a floral field, but all-over fields of Shah Abbas flowers, pictorial and hunting scenes are also found. They are mostly in wool, but some have been woven in pure silk. Traditional theme colors are reds and blues, but more recently Kashans have been woven in paler beiges, with greyish-blue and olive-green tones, for the international market. |

Medium Size Beige Heriz Persian Oriental Area Rug 5x7 Handspun Wool

Retail price: $5291.23

Heriz is a small town with a grand reputation. It is located in north-western Iran, south of Tabriz in the province of Azerbaijan. The tribal Heriz is a thicker, heavier carpet, renowned for its earth tones and geometric patterns. While no two carpets are identical, they tend to have an attractive similarity. Most have a large squarish medallion in black or navy set in a lighter field, with the main colors of the rug in shades of rust red, with beige, navy, brown or black details. Sizes are usually large in these rugs, smaller sizes being rare for this group. |
