Kashan rugs are among the most iconic Persian designs, originating from the historic city of Kashan in central Iran, renowned for its court-quality carpets dating back to the Safavid era (16th–17th c).
The floral all-over pattern you see here was popularized in the late 19th and early 20th century, especially for export to Europe and the US, where these rugs became synonymous with luxury and refinement.
These designs often symbolized paradise gardens, with their repeated floral motifs suggesting fertility, eternal life, and protection.
