Thus, a Nain's overall quality is directly related to its warp structure. As such, Nain masterpieces are further subdivided into 3 main categories; \u003cem\u003e4 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains, \u003cem\u003e6 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains, and \u003cem\u003e9 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNain became a household name in carpet production by the mid 1920s; super fine pieces were created due to the high quality of the workshops in the area.

Some of the used material to achieve the required colours include; peels of fruits, roots of plants, skins of vegetables, tree barks, dried flowers, and shells of nuts. This perhaps, is the foundation of manufacturing high quality Zieglers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen it comes to the brand, Ziegler carpets are considered to be an exception to the norm; they are named after a company, rather than a village or a tribe. Ziegler was actually a designer in the former German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, who moved to Manchester, England, in the late 1800s, to establish his own designing firm. Naming it Ziegler and Company, he commissioned the development of the original \u003c\/span\u003eZiegler rugs\u003cspan\u003e back in the 1880s. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoon after, Ziegler and Co. expanded their operation and established a carpet manufacturing company in Arak (Sultanabad), Markazi Province, Iran. Using traditional, yet highly developed knotting methods and dying techniques, Ziegler and Co. produced bold rugs with all-over patterns and soft palettes. Their signature produce, Chobi Ziegler, developed an almost immediate following. The word “Chobi,” is the English pronunciation of the word \"Choubi,\" which in Persian means wooden, wood-like, or something that has a wooden brown colour in it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenerally, Ziegler pieces are in the same price range as Shirvans, Kazaks, and Khal Mohammads.

Most of them are sold in the Shiraz bazaar. Typically, the warps, wefts and pile are all of hand-spun wool and there are no fringes: the Kelim at the ends is tucked in and sewn up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lori are one of the most important nomadic tribes of Iran and inhabit the western and southern parts of the country.  In much of their territory, they live in areas adjacent to the Ghashgai.  Unlike the Ghashgai who speak Turkish, the Lori are of Iranian origin and their language is similar to Persian. Various pressures in the 20th century have forced many Lori to abandon the nomadic life and settle down in villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Farsi (the language of Persia), the word \u003cem\u003eGabbeh\u003c\/em\u003e means something raw or natural, uncut or “\"in the rough.” Gabbeh are the world's best-known coarsely woven Iranian tribal rugs. Traditionally, the knotting and weaving of nomadic carpets are a woman’s domain and area of expertise. True nomadic rugs such as the Gabbeh are almost exclusively knotted for personal use, and often the woman’s spirit and natural artisanship are quite apparent in these personal interpretations of their life in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two main types of Lori rugs on the market.  The first are the nomadic carpets produced in the south; these we generally call Lori Behbehan.  They are similar to Ghashgai rugs and made entirely of wool, but they use a different range of motifs and are fond of bright contrasting colors.  A strong red is particularly prominent.  The other type of Lori rug is marketed in the town of Khorramabad and those are called \u003cem\u003eDozars\u003c\/em\u003e. These are squarer and more restrained in appearance; a reddish-brown is the main color. The designs are varied; all-over patterning predominates. The fringes are often beautifully braided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGabbeh rugs have a very thick pile, woven in a relatively low knot density. Designs are typically geometric and symbolic in shape and style. Gabbeh weavers may be telling a story, depicting a landscape or scene, or even conveying an emotion. Most commonly Gabbeh will be asymmetric and woven to tell a story, with figures and symbols depicting parts of the weaver’s “tale.” Sometimes, figural designs are seen: lions, their bodies covered with small geometrical motifs or copies of relief's at Persepolis (the capital near Shiraz of the Achemenian Dynasty).  It is this subjective and random process that renders a genuine Gabbeh a completely unique work of art, distinct from other Persian rugs and from many other types of weaving or knotting in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeware of “knock-offs” from Turkey, India, China and Egypt, to name a few… these cheap imitations are not always handmade, and usually contain inferior wool and chemical dyes on a cotton foundation.  You can usually tell by the white fringe that the rug is a cotton-foundation knock-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow to Medium, depending on the craftsmanship, although a Gabbeh is always a sound investment because of the longevity of the rugs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp;

the true Lilian design has a spidery central medallion which American Saroughs do not.  American Saroughs use either rich rosy reds with blues and paler rose outlining the motifs, or, less frequently, bright pastel shades (usually pale blues, turquoise or lemon yellow), used to create the same strong contrasts between motifs and field as in American Kermans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn all Saroughs the border is simple, almost always consisting of two guards framing a wider central band, which is often decorated with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eheratis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewhile the former is often of traditional rosettes and wavy line collections.  The color scheme is often a bright orange-red in the field, which is softened by ivory, dark blue, red-brown and dull green.  Various shades of turquoise are common in the decorative motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRange\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM TO HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaroughs generally have a sound resale value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarough\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp;

usually as many as five threads, four loose wool ones and a taut cotton one in the center.  This is the chief characteristic of Bidjars.  The warp threads are beaten in with two kinds of tools: the usual comb beater, and a special one, which resembles an enormous iron claw.  The craftsmen insert the claw between the warp threads and beat in the weft threads many times over.  This special technique makes Bidjars the most compact and heavy of the Persian carpets, giving them the title of “iron rugs of Persia.” The close-cut pile is of high quality, lustrous wool knotted together using a Turkish knot with densities of between 100 to 210 knots per square inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBidjars, like Saroughs, are often decorated with floral motifs in a formal interpretation, which betrays their primitive and semi-nomadic style.  The result is a less sophisticated version of the classic Persian specimens such as Kashans, but decidedly more restrained and attractive.  There is often a medallion in the center, while the rest of the field is decorated either with floral designs or with the \u003cem\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e motif reproduced in a small size and repeated to cover the whole background (\u003cem\u003eherati \u003c\/em\u003emotifs are diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding).  Other examples have only a central medallion standing out against a self-colored field.  In these Bidjars the four quarters have a floral ornamentation.  Bidjar borders are often composed of five bands, four narrow and one central wide one.  The main band is often decorated with border \u003cem\u003eboteh\u003c\/em\u003e (stylized leaf-like floral symbols that often appear similar to a Paisley pattern), while the guards contain a succession of rosettes alternating with more stylized floral motifs.  Another common border is made up of two very narrow guards and a central one, which, although wider than the guards, is small in relation to the carpet.  In this type of border, a rich floral decoration is often added to the border \u003cem\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBidjars are identifiable not only by their unusual technique but also by their very beautiful colours.  The ground shades are dark: dark blue, cherry red, and bottle green are common, while the colours used for the designs are vivid and often include a delightful turquoise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM TO HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBidjars and Goltogs represent excellent value and are one of the safer investments.  Bidjars are proverbially sturdy and beautifully colored and, because production has been limited for more than twenty years, they are very rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp;

however, in the most isolated villages, the nomad-type ground loom is still used.  Warp and weft are usually in cotton but are sometimes in wool.  The weft is composed of two threads and the knot is nearly always Turkish, exempting carpets made in the village of Shahr Kord which use the Persian knot.  Each individual village or nomadic tribe has its own variation on the traditional schemes; the quality of the wool, the type of knot used and the fineness of the knotting vary significantly from village to village.  However, all the carpets are reasonably sturdy and the wool pile is generally of medium depth and the density is from 80 to 200 knots per square inch.   Normally, all such carpets are marked as “Bakhtiaris,” but sometimes they may be named after a specific village – e.g. Feridan, Farah Dumbah, Boldaji, Saman, Bain, etc. – and occasionally the more finely knotted items are referred to as \u003cem\u003eBibibaffs\u003c\/em\u003e, which literally means “woman’s knot.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakhtiaris are easily identifiable because of their special designs.  The field on the carpet is almost always divided into squares or diamonds made to stand out by a plain outline.  These geometric figures are decorated either with animal or plant motifs (particularly cypresses and flowering shrubs.)  Each carpet may contain more than ten different designs.  Another fairly common decoration is a formal repeated design of flowers and shrubs, which covers the whole field.  Often these specimens contain a “tree of life” in the central part of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome Bakhtiaris are made by craftsmen in the village of Shahr Kord.  These Bakhtiari tribesmen have given up their nomadic life and therefore their carpets reveal the influence of nearby Isfahan in the techniques employed, the use of the Persian knot and the floral design with a central medallion.  The execution of this design is, however, more formal and betrays the nomadic origin of the craftsmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe border is typical of many Persian carpets from different regions: two narrow guards and a wide central band.  The decorative motifs are greatly varied.  The \u003cem\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e border motif (diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding) is usually used for carpets woven in Shahr Kord.  In the nomadic carpets, particularly the older and antique ones, the border is often decorated with a serrated-leaf pattern.  Another fairly common border is one where the decoration is a succession of cartouches in which the principal motifs of the ground decoration appear on a white background.  All Bakhtiaris are in dark colors, deep red, yellow ochre, bottle green, dark brown and bright blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM TO MEDIUM\/HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBakhtiaris can be exceptionally attractive, and are amongst the most collectable examples of contemporary Persian tribal weaving;

The variety and quality of the colors are superior and the numbers of Turkish knots are about 100.  The knotting on the better items can be extremely fine by nomadic standards, with 200 or more knots per square inch.  Ghashgais are often confused with Shiraz carpets, which are made in and around the town of Shiraz using Ghashgai designs. Ghashgais are harder wearing, with a compact pile and faster, more varied colours.  Large items are rare and Ghashgai also produce delightful textile artifacts, including bags, camel and donkey trappings and kelims.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: black;\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: black;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: black;\"\u003eGhashgais are typically nomadic in design meaning there are lots of geometric and angular designs.  The motifs are simple and executed in bold straight lines and bright colors.  Their repertoire is among the most varied and visually exciting of any contemporary nomadic weaving tribe.  It includes a wide spectrum of \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';\"\u003eboteh \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e(a stylized leaf-like floral symbol that often appears similar to a Paisley pattern), medallion and repeating floral schemes, but the most common motif and one by which a Ghashgai may be identified are the pole medallions and the \u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';\"\u003ehebatlu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e design which are like diamond shaped lozenge by itself in the center of the carpet or repeated along the length twice or three times according to the size of the carpet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: black;\"\u003eThe diamond shape is usually light or dark blue and the field is almost always red and decorated with stylized plant motifs.  Ghashgais are also noted for the frequent inclusion in the field of tiny people and animals, as well as the more customary floral and vegetable motifs.  The most common colours are deep reds and blues, but a variety of ochre and sienna are also used.

Much of the Caucasus belonged to Iran, which was administered from Tabriz.  There are remains of mosques from the 15th century, but perhaps the most important landmarks are the bazaars, for trade has always been of great importance in Tabriz. Indeed, its geographical position meant that for a long time goods exported from Iran to Europe went via Tabriz, and the revival of the carpet industry in the 19th century is due largely to Tabriz merchants making carpets for export to Europe.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTabriz carpets come almost exclusively from the city itself and the majority are woven in production centers where there are quite a large number of looms.  Relatively few Tabriz are made in private households.  The loom is vertical, often with metal roller beams.  The Turkish knot is always used.  The warp is of very strong cotton with a double weft.  The pile is of wool, which usually comes from the Maku region (on the border of Turkey).  This wool is very strong but rather coarse, with the result that the pile, particularly in medium quality carpets, is uneven and rough.  High quality Tabriz utilizes silk and wool and some rare Tabriz are 100% silk.  The decoration is floral, often with a central medallion.  The motifs – flowering branches, shrubs and leaves – are large.  In addition to these classic themes, plant and animal motifs also appear.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecimens decorated with the popular\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHerati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding) motifs are far less common.

ranging from 160 to 400 knots per square inch.  Silk Isfahans have densities approaching 600 knots per square inch.  The warp is often made of cotton and the pile is always closely cropped, usually wool and silk.  More often than not, silk is utilized in the decorations to heighten the visual effect of the carpets, bestowing on them a certain gleam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

crème of Persian carpets.  Created in the master workshops of the city of Isfahan, one of the most prestigious cities of the Middle East, they were probably the first Persian carpets to be known and appreciated in Europe.  In fact, during the reign of Shah Abbas (1587-1629) many carpets woven by the craftsmen of Isfahan were given as gifts to dignitaries and rulers from the West.  These examples were in silk and sometimes included the use of silver and gold thread.  The appearance of Isfahans produced in the last 50 years under the Pahlavi influence is radically different from those produced in the later 19th and early 20th centuries.  These older items tend to employ a richer palette and more varied designs.  In contemporary items the palette is more pastel and technical perfection is generally of greater importance than artistic flair.  Contemporary Isfahans are, however, extremely attractive, and the subduing of the palette, particularly the elimination of strong reds, makes them more compatible with Western decorative schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Isfahans all have a floral design, usually with a central medallion on a field decorated by a motif of interlaced flowering branches or what is commonly referred to as the Shah Abbas motif.  Some specimens also have four corners decorated with the same motifs (Shah Abbas) and colors as those represented in the central medallion.  Carpets with scenes of flowers and animals are also quite common.  Another decoration that is typical of this area is the one known as ‘vase of flowers.’  The field of this carpet has at the bottom a vase from which flowering branches emerge and cover the whole of the field.  In these examples, the field is often in the form of a niche, and therefore there are two quarters at the top of the niche at the opposite end from the vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe border of Isfahans is usually made up of a large central band framed by two narrow guards that, in turn, are enclosed between two even narrower bands.  The latter are almost always decorated with a Greek-key motif, while the two guards have rosette motif joined by a garland.  The main border band often has a\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan

animals the ground motifs are repeated in the border.  A broad color range is used in Isfahan carpets and the craftsmen were masters at creating a harmonious combination of ground and design by alternating light and dark colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

isolated villages, the nomad-type ground loom is still used.  Warp and weft are usually in cotton but are sometimes in wool.  The weft is composed of two threads and the knot is nearly always Turkish, exempting carpets made in the village of Shahr Kord which use the Persian knot.  Each individual village or nomadic tribe has its own variation on the traditional schemes; the quality of the wool, the type of knot used and the fineness of the knotting vary significantly from village to village.  However, all the carpets are reasonably sturdy and the wool pile is generally of medium depth and the density is from 80 to 200 knots per square inch.   Normally, all such carpets are marked as “Bakhtiaris,” but sometimes they may be named after a specific village – e.g. Feridan, Farah Dumbah, Boldaji, Saman, Bain, etc. – and occasionally the more finely knotted items are referred to as\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem

the carpet is almost always divided into squares or diamonds made to stand out by a plain outline.  These geometric figures are decorated either with animal or plant motifs (particularly cypresses and flowering shrubs.)  Each carpet may contain more than ten different designs.  Another fairly common decoration is a formal repeated design of flowers and shrubs, which covers the whole field.  Often these specimens contain a “tree of life” in the central part of the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome Bakhtiaris are made by craftsmen in the village of Shahr Kord.  These Bakhtiari tribesmen have given up their nomadic life and therefore their carpets reveal the influence of nearby Isfahan in the techniques employed, the use of the Persian knot and the floral design with a central medallion.  The execution of this design is, however, more formal and betrays the nomadic origin of the craftsmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe border

  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKashans are hand knotted on vertical looms using cotton warps and wefts and good quality wool pile that is closely cropped.  The pile often has a silky feel to it and is of very high quality.  Kashans are among the finest carpets produced today, but the standard of individual items varies rather more than it does with Isfahans and it is important to assess each item on its own merits.   They may be woven on either cotton or silk foundations, with between 200 to 400 Persian knots per square inch (pure silk items may have 600 or more). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reputation of carpets made in the central Persian city of Kashan was so high that, according to Persian folklore, it was considered a compliment to say that a person came from Kashan, for this implied that they possessed quality and style.  After the Court period which culminated with the reign of Shah Abbas, carpet making in Kashan was interrupted for more than two centuries between the Afghan invasion in 1722 and the end of the nineteenth century.  It was only during the last quarter of the nineteenth century that some textile mill owners, finding themselves in difficulties because of competition with imported textiles, decided to try launching the carpet-making trade again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first examples woven after this renewed beginning of trade are noticeable for the magnificent quality of the wool, which makes the carpets extremely velvety.  It would appear that these examples were made with wool imported from Australia and which was used for making very highly priced materials.  These carpets are known as Kashan Motashemi, probably from the name of one of the first craftsmen.  In a few years, because of the very high quality of the wool, the very fine weaving and the beautiful colours and designs, Kashans came to be classified among the finest of the Persian carpets.  \u003cspan\u003eC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eontemporary \u003c\/span\u003eproduction has also kept up a high level and has maintained the world prestige of these carpets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKashans are easily recognizable by their design.  The field is almost always decorated by a central medallion, which terminates at the upper and lower ends in flowering coronets.  The rest of the field is closely decorated with flowers and vine tendrils.  In the four quarters a richly decorated band outlines a motif, which recalls the designs and colours of the central medallion.  Kashans without a medallion are much rarer.  These have a floral design accompanied by a decoration including animals such as the giraffe and peacock.  The border is made up of two or four guards flanking the central one, which is always decorated with a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eborder motif (a diamond-shaped band with floral heads both inside and surrounding), while the guards have the usual decoration of rosettes and a garland.  Another common type of Kashan is that with figural decoration - story carpets - which are almost always in silk.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual background colors for Kashan carpets are rich red and dark blue.  Very often the carpets with a dark blue background have medallion and border in red, and vice versa.  Ivory, yellow, ochre, burnt orange and occasionally green are also employed in Kashans.  A recent kind of Kashan,

colours.  The background is generally ivory and the other colours are various shades of beige, gray and light blue.  The pange-rangh also has a new decoration, which consists of a geometric
