卡兹文是伊朗北部的一个城市，曾是十六世纪中期萨非王朝的首都。现藏于大都会博物馆中的Sanguszko 毯的设计灵感可能就来源于卡兹文。在第一次和第二次世界大战之间，这里出产过著名的中心葵图案的花毯，这类毯子与Sarouk毯十分相似，其底料是棉布，打结密度在每平方英寸130至200个结之间。此外，卡兹文还是美国购买哈马丹编织毯的指定城市，在地毯贸易和文化交流中有着重要作用。从结构上看，卡兹文毯与哈马丹地区毯子的区别在于它们是双纬而不是单纬的。
Gaswin, or Kasvin, is a city in the northern part of Iran. It was formerly the capital of the Safavid empire in the mid-sixteenth century. It was probably the design source for rugs such as the Sanguszko carpet in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The city was a source, between the First and Second World Wars, of medallion rugs very similar to Sarouks. Kasvin is an American trade designation for rugs woven in the city of Hamadan. Alvand and Ecbetana are European trade designations for the same rug. Structurally, they are distinguished from the rugs of the Hamadan area in that they are double-wefted rather than single-wefted.
