1500 reeds

“Hailing from the heart of Iran, Kashan carpets have been revered for centuries for their intricate designs and luxurious feel. The 1500-knot Kashan, with its exceptionally high knot density, represents the pinnacle of this ancient art.

The history of Kashan carpets is deeply intertwined with the region’s rich cultural heritage. Evidence suggests that carpet weaving in this area dates back to ancient times, with designs often inspired by Persian gardens, mythology, and architecture. Over the centuries, Kashan carpets have been traded along the Silk Road, introducing their beauty to distant lands.

The production of a 1500-knot Kashan is a labor-intensive process that demands exceptional skill. Highly skilled artisans meticulously hand-knot each individual knot, using only the finest natural materials such as silk and wool. The intricate patterns, often featuring delicate floral motifs and geometric designs, are meticulously woven into the carpet. The high knot density contributes to the carpet’s dense, plush texture and vibrant colors.

In recent years, technological advancements have allowed for the production of machine-made carpets that mimic the appearance of hand-knotted Kashans. However, true connoisseurs of Persian carpets can easily distinguish between the two. Hand-knotted Kashans possess a unique character and soul that is simply unattainable by machine-made replicas.

Owning a 1500-knot Kashan is not merely an investment; it is an acquisition of a timeless piece of art. These carpets are cherished for generations, adding elegance and warmth to any space. As you admire the intricate details and feel the softness of the pile, you are connecting with centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.”
