Kashmar rugs come from the town of Kashmar in the Khorasan province of northeastern Iran, a region with a long weaving history that expanded significantly in the 20th century to meet commercial demand. They are large, decorative rugs known for their elaborate floral medallion designs, typically featuring a prominent central medallion with densely packed floral sprays, palmettes, and scrolling vines spreading across the field. Colors are typically rich and traditional though softer, more muted palettes also appear. The wool pile is full and pleasant underfoot, and the rugs tend to run large, making them well suited as room-sized carpets. Kashmar rugs are generally considered well-made, and rooted in the classical Persian tradition without carrying the premium price of the more celebrated weaving centers.
