Story Behind the Art: Indo-Kashan rugs are high-quality Indian recreations of the legendary Kashan carpets from central Iran, a city celebrated as a primary center of the Persian weaving tradition since the 16th-century. These rugs are defined by their classic, courtly elegance, typically featuring a prominent central teardrop-shaped medallion surrounded by a densely packed field of curvilinear floral vines, arabesques, and Shah Abbasi palmettes. While they share the same timeless aesthetic and asymmetrical Persian knotting technique as their Iranian counterparts, Indo-Kashan rugs are often more accessible and frequently utilize a blend of soft New Zealand wool and Indian wool to achieve a plush, velvety texture. A hallmark of the style is its harmonious color palette which is traditionally grounded in rich midnight blues and deep "Persian reds" and anchors the intricate symmetry of the design. Interestingly, the most prized antique versions, known as "Mohtasham Kashans," were originally famous for using fine imported Manchester wool, a standard of luxury that modern Indian master weavers strive to emulate through meticulous hand-spinning and natural dyeing processes.
