Guide to Motashem Kashan Rugs and Carpets
Guide to Motashem Kashan Rugs and Carpets: "Guide to Motashem Kashan Rugs and Carpets
From the late-19th to the early 20th century the finest quality rugs from Kashan were called Mohtashem and said to be from the workshop of "Mohtashem". Today it is generally assumed that Mohtashem is an indication of fine Kerman workshop production rather than a firm attribution. However with the existence of some signed Mohtashem rugs it is certain that the workshop existed."
