Due to its climate and the caravans that passed through the country, it was, at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan, a flourishing metropolis known especially for its fabric and rug production. Even today it is still influenced by the elegance and splendor of that era. The Kashan rugs are artistic textile products made according to ancient traditions. The production in Kashan took place traditionally in the houses of the weavers. The pile is typically knotted from extremely soft wool and is, therefore, particularly dense and compact.  This old Kashan is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe \u003cb\u003egarden of paradise design\u003c\/b\u003e is a stylized representation of a traditional Persian garden. The Greek word \"paradeisos\" comes from the Middle Persian word \"pardēs\". Originally the word referred to the \u003cb\u003e Persian royal gardens\u003c\/b\u003e and only in the biblical context did it acquire the connotation of the garden of God. These fertile and artistic royal gardens were home to \u003cb\u003e various exotic plants\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eanimals\u003c\/b\u003e. They are surrounded by a wall, symbolic of the \u003cb\u003e separation between heaven and earth\u003c\/b\u003e. Gardens of paradise are places of worship and \u003cb\u003e status symbols\u003c\/b\u003e. Traditional Persian gardens were \u003cb\u003e rectangular\u003c\/b\u003e, with a river or body of water running from north to south and from east to west, forming a cross that divides the garden into four sections. Covered pavilions or structures and elevated walkways to view the garden from above were common, as were fountains and waterfalls symbolising eternal life. In rugs with a paradise garden motif such as this one the representation of water, which is extremely precious in arid areas, plays a prominent role.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Kashan is light red.

Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Kashan are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255103926365,"sku":"14040","price":2640.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/14040_gesamt_2d890d17-3a70-4043-ad82-0226b2654ee9.jpg?v=1586912254","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/alter-keshan-teppich-205-x-136-14040","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
