当人们提起最顶尖的波斯地毯，伊斯法罕和喀桑这两个地名总是连在一起的。喀桑位于伊斯法罕与德黑兰之间，由于气候适宜，几个世纪以来，喀桑一直以出产最具艺术和文化特色的手工地毯而扬名海内外。奥地利实用美术博物馆中的“维也纳狩猎地毯”，英国维多利亚和艾伯特博物馆中的阿尔达比勒地毯，还有纽约大都会博物馆中珍藏的真丝地毯，都堪称一个时代具有里程碑意义的杰作。波斯手织地毯在西方上流社会大放异彩，人们争相定购。如今，喀桑不仅出产丝绒、真丝和地毯，也生产一些颇具民族特色的瓷器和金属器。
这张极其壮观的喀桑地毯，由于采用了全天然的植物染料，尽管经历了半个多世纪的岁月磨砺，浓郁鲜艳的色彩不减当年，吉祥喜庆的大红色正契合了中国人的传统审美体验。整条地毯的构图浑然大气，细部的装饰图案又不乏灵动，具有喀桑经典艺术的特色。毯面设计中最吸引人的是“Haji Khanumi”镶边，
带有相交的垂柳和花瓶图案，它在整体设计中与主体图案交相辉映。还有一些宝蓝色的圆形饰物和角牙，雅致可人，这类图案虽然所占面积不大，细腻的曲线与光泽感给人留下了深刻的印象，可谓以小见大。
该毯采用了世界上最优质的克尔克羊毛编织，毯面结点紧密，光泽极佳，奢华至致。极具收藏、投资价值。
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.
