Persian Kashmar rugs Carpets made in Kashmar usually
have curvilinear patterns.Kashmar are among
the highest quality Persian rugs and carpets produced in Eastern Iran.
They are well known for their patterns and smooth structure.Kashmar
carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size
(4 x 6 to 8 x 10 feet). You can also find large rugs up to 10 x 18 feet.Light
blue and cream predominate, with ivory as a contrasting color. Other
colors such as soft green, red, and brown are found in newer works.
Soft wool; thin, tight pile. Warp is mostly
cotton; weft is either cotton or wool.
Weavers in Kashmar use Persian knots. You should check the back of the
carpet because the quality of the carpet depends upon the number of
knots, which varies, but averages from around 120 KPSI (30 RAJ) up to
842 KPSI (80 RAJ). Kashmar carpets are easily distinguishable because of their large size and their unique patterns that borrow design features from different regions. Some have panels with tree motifs on a ground and, between them, a panel with a dome and some minarets set under a column arch with a floral repetition on a beige ground on the main border. Another common pattern is a pictorial that tells the story of a significant occurrence or entity in Persian history. These might be the pictures of an ancient and
respected Persian king, or just an attempt to show the Persian love
of beauty and intricate craftsmanship. The overall color harmonies and
intricacy of detail make these carpets elegant masterpieces. They are
extremely durable and will last a very long time, increasing in beauty
as they age. The old name of this city is "Torshiz." The actual city of Kashmar is very rich in history, and has been responsible for producing exquisite carpets for centuries. In 1151 CE, it was surrounded and plundered by Sultan Sanjar Saljooghi. After that, it became one of the most important centers of the Esmailieh faction. Once this faction was defeated, the city flourished again. But in the 14th century, it was ruined by Amir Taymour Goorkani. The historical sites of this city are: Atashgah cave,Ali-Abad tower,Firooz-Abad minaret,
Atashgah castle,Shahid Moddares tomb,Seyed Hamzeh an Seyed, Morteza
Imamzadeh
