當(dāng)人們提起最頂尖的波斯地毯，伊斯法罕和喀桑這兩個(gè)地名總是連在一起的。喀桑位于伊斯法罕與德黑蘭之間，由于氣候適宜，幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，喀桑一直以出產(chǎn)最具藝術(shù)和文化特色的手工地毯而揚(yáng)名海內(nèi)外。奧地利實(shí)用美術(shù)博物館中的“維也納狩獵地毯”，英國(guó)維多利亞和艾伯特博物館中的阿爾達(dá)比勒地毯，還有紐約大都會(huì)博物館中珍藏的真絲地毯，都堪稱一個(gè)時(shí)代具有里程碑意義的杰作。波斯手織地毯在西方上流社會(huì)大放異彩，人們爭(zhēng)相定購(gòu)。如今，喀桑不僅出產(chǎn)絲絨、真絲和地毯，也生產(chǎn)一些頗具民族特色的瓷器和金屬器。
這張極其壯觀的喀桑地毯，由于采用了全天然的植物染料，盡管經(jīng)歷了半個(gè)多世紀(jì)的歲月磨礪，濃郁鮮艷的色彩不減當(dāng)年，吉祥喜慶的大紅色正契合了中國(guó)人的傳統(tǒng)審美體驗(yàn)。整條地毯的構(gòu)圖渾然大氣，細(xì)部的裝飾圖案又不乏靈動(dòng)，具有喀桑經(jīng)典藝術(shù)的特色。毯面設(shè)計(jì)中最吸引人的是“Haji Khanumi”鑲邊，
帶有相交的垂柳和花瓶圖案，它在整體設(shè)計(jì)中與主體圖案交相輝映。還有一些寶藍(lán)色的圓形飾物和角牙，雅致可人，這類圖案雖然所占面積不大，細(xì)膩的曲線與光澤感給人留下了深刻的印象，可謂以小見大。
該毯采用了世界上最優(yōu)質(zhì)的克爾克羊毛編織，毯面結(jié)點(diǎn)緊密，光澤極佳，奢華至致。極具收藏、投資價(jià)值。
When one speaks of top quality Persian carpets, the names of Isfahan and Kashan are often linked. Kashan lies halfway along a line drawn north from Isfahan towards Tehran. It is quite certain, however, that Kashan, with its favourable climate, at the western edge of the great salt desert produced and exported carpets of the highest artistic craftsmanship and cultural value over several centuries. The "Vienna Hunting Carpet" in the Austrian Museum of Applied Art, the Ardabil in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and the famous silk carpet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, are the best known of the surviving monuments of an epoch which ended with the weaving of the so-called Polanaise carpets-some of which were commissioned by the nobility of eastern Europe. Today Kashan produces velvet, silks and carpets as well as interesting Ceramics and metal works.
Within its formal compositional and chromatic context, this magnificent Kashan carpet demonstrates a conspicuous flexibility of ornamental invention that remains consistently compatible with the traditional classicism of the most elevated Kashan aesthetic ideal. Of most immediate effect within the design plan is the "Haji Khanumi" border of alternating weeping willows and vase arrangements, a decorative theme that counteracts in a coherent overall design statement with similarly thematic devices in the field. Equally impressive is the exquisite sapphire blue of the medallion and corner spandrels, this is given added stimulus by the unusually small scale of these elements which serves to concentrate their jewel like character. A well spaced field pattern is organized with a sweeping sense of movement that contrasts richly with the inner detail of its ornaments. Knotted in the finest Merino neck-wool, with a closely compacted high gloss surface texture this is the Kashan Carpet of the most sumptuous grandeur.
