Workshop of legendary master weaver Mohtasham is one of the most remarkable chapters in Rug history. He is said to have settled in Kashan at the end of the 19th century to Revive knotting artistry. In fact, knotting in Kashan did indeed gained important momentum. Mohtashem created a wonderful, unmistakable style. Rugs in this style are now referred to as Mohtashem Kashan and are highly valued around the world. A few ways to spot a Mohtasham is its Manchester wool and purple silk on the sides.
