The Kashmar is a relatively rare carpet produced by master weavers in the province of Khorassan, in north-eastern Iran. The small city of Kashmar is very old, responsible for producing exquisite carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily distinguishable because of their unique designs and their large size. The patterns are usually historic tableaux telling the story of a significant event in Persian history. Frequently there are views of the ancient ruins and sculpture of Persepolis, the kings Darius and Xerxes, and birds and animals from the Rubayat of Omar Khayam. There are also Kashmar carpets which resemble the classic Kashan, with central medallion and spandrels. |

Meshkinshahr usually makes very long runners, with patterns that are strictly simple and geometric, often with diamond-shaped central medallions. The exotic colors in a Meshkinshahr may be any combination of warm reds, olive and turquoise, navy blue, and taupe. |
