Today it is generally assumed that Dabir is an indication of fine Kerman workshop production rather than a firm attribution. However with the existence of some signed Dabir rugs it is certain that the workshop existed. The early Kashan rugs were made with Manchester wool and are softer. The change occurred in the 1930s. Kashan is a city in North Central Iran. We know that there was production of Persian Carpet at Royal workshops in the 17th and early 18th century. Many authors attribute Persian Rugs and Carpet to Kashan in the 16th century particularly of the so-called small silk Kashan Persian Carpet group. That is a leap of faith not necessarily supported by any published evidence I can see. The Persian Carpet workshops ceased production in about 1722 after the Afghan invasion. Persian Carpet production was a very minor pursuit until the 20th century. Historically Kashan was a major center in the garment trade.(See Shalva or Persian Pantaloons). In the late 19th century the market shifted and the local industry went from fine wool cloth to fine wool carpets. The Persian rug is a tradition that has survived for a period of over 2500 years. Each Persian rug is a new flower blossoming from one of the biggest branches of an ancient and colorful yet damaged tree which is the Persian culture . Persian people are very tradition oriented and this characteristic can be seen in the way they make their rugs . Each village or city in Iran has an ancient and traditional rug pattern that has been maintained in that region for centuries and sometimes millenniums. The distinct designs of each city are particular to that city alone and although famous designs have been imitated elsewhere in the country a few times , they have never been duplicated. Iran is also the place where many other styles of rugs are made, such as Turkish, Caucasian, Armenian, Kazak, Afghanistan & India. The Persian rug is a big chapter in the book of Iran's culture because it visually shows the biggest obsessions in Persian culture, which are the beauty of nature, literature, and true love. These are what make the Persian rug on of the most prestigious things to be placed in any home. Persian Bazaar - Rug's World HeadquarterKPSI: ( knot per Square inch ) the number of knots per linear inch along the warp and the weft tell us what is the KPSI in one rug. You multiply both numbers on the warp and the weft from back of the carpet. For example 10 knots along the warp and 12 knots along the weft would give a KPSI of 120. RAJ is the number of knots on warp or weft per 7 linear centimeter. Persian rugs usually count with RAJ instead of KPSI. But for your convenience we use KPSI here. keep in mind higher KPSI does not necessarily mean a better quality rug. the number of kpsi is only depended on technique of the weave.
