Iranian Kashan Ghochan; measures approximately 4'1" x 5'5" Between Isfahan and Teheran, close to the edge of the great desert Dasht-e-Kavir, Keshan has been famous for a long time for its textiles and its pottery. The city was important as a trading place and as a resting place along the Silk Road, but has been in the shadow of Isfahan for some time now. The carpets are manufactured with high knot density with Persian knot, warp and weft of cotton and the wool for the pile is of high quality. The patterns consist of beautifully designed medallions, niches, trees and figural motifs and all-over floral motifs occur also. Dominating colors are blue, red and beige.
