A city in central Iran, the rug-making process began during the Safavid dynasty (1501-1732) and particularly during the reign of Shah Abbas (1588-1629). Schools were established and Ustads (master weavers) created rug designs. The designs were inspired by Persian tradition, reproducing hunting scenes, gardens, roses, trees, mosaic patterns or bas-reliefs (Persepolis) ... These creations were found in the cities of Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, Meshed, Kerman.
