The Corner Medallion Design features a large medallion in the center of the carpet, surrounded by corner motifs.

Hand-Knotted Carpet Quality Classification

The quality classification of Kashan-Ardakan rugs is based on knot density and the materials’ quality. Kashan or Ardakan carpets are classified based on their Raj, which refers to the number of warp threads per square centimeter, indicating the fineness and quality of the rug’s weave. For instance, a 6-meter Ardakan rug can have 42, 40, or 35 raj. A raj of 42 represents the highest level of fineness and quality among these options.

This handwoven carpet, crafted with a 42 raj, boasts the highest texture density and quality.

Similar to all Kashan, Kerman, and Ardakan carpets and their history—known for their durability as well as their oriental style, colors, and weaving techniques—this piece stands out for its resilience. It’s ideal for high-traffic areas, bringing charm to bedrooms, children’s rooms, living rooms, or as an accent under tables and furniture. Made from wool and silk, it provides warmth to floors in winter while offering a cool, soft touch during warmer seasons. With its entirely traditional, natural fibers, this carpet is a top choice for healthy, family-friendly decor.

Why Are Kashan Carpet Brands and Ardakan Related?

Ardakan (or Ardekan) is a historical city in the Yazd province, renowned for its hand-woven carpets and sesame-based products like halva and pistachio goods. The city borders Kerman and Yazd to the south and connects with Isfahan, Nain, and Kashan (or Keshan) to the north. The authentic Ardakan carpet is predominantly woven by the residents of Ardakan and its surrounding villages. The famous carpets of Kerman, Nain, and Kashan largely inspire the designs and styles of Ardakan carpets.

Kashan, one of Iran’s oldest cities, has a rich history of producing exquisite and antique rugs due to its location on the Silk Road. Ardakan, located about 190 miles from Kashan and influenced by Kerman, 260 miles away, adopted many of Kashan’s weaving techniques. Over time, Ardakan became renowned for producing high-quality rugs of Kashan’s, often under the same name. The enduring craftsmanship and adherence to quality have made Ardakan rugs synonymous with the Kashan hand-knotted style.

Now, Kashan carpets of unique quality are being woven in the cities of Ardakan, Yazd, and their surrounding areas.
