Kashmar

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, and is responsible for producing exquisite carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily distinguishable from 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. They all have a pile of wool on a foundation of cotton. In older, rare cases, silk is also used. Almost every color can be seen used in a Kashmar rug.
