Story Behind the Art: Indo Kashan rugs are a sophisticated Indian made tribute to the legendary carpets of Kashan, Iran. While the originals date back to the 16th century Safavid courts, the 'Indo' variety is crafted today in Indian weaving hubs like Jaipur and Bhadohi. They are widely regarded as some of the most classic looking rugs in the world, bringing a sense of royal history into modern homes. Most Indo Kashan rugs follow the famous 'Medallion and Corner' (or Book cover like) layout. They feature a central, diamond shaped medallion surrounded by a field of densely packed floral vines, palmettes, and arabesques. You may also see the "Shah Abbas" field, an all over floral pattern without a central medallion. These rugs are hand knotted (approx. 150–250 knots per square inch) with a 100% wool pile on a cotton foundation. Higher end versions often use premium New Zealand wool for a velvety sheen, sometimes incorporating silk highlights to make the floral patterns shimmer.
