Kashan is a city of some 400,000 people in the province of Isfahan in central Iran. It is relatively low-lying and becomes very hot in summer; building  houses downwards into the ground have traditionally alleviated this. Perhaps this also discourages the scorpions for which the city is notorious. Its inhabitants are famous for their industry: the Ardebil carpet in the Victoria and Albert Museum, dating from 1542, is signed Maqsud of Kashan, and the town also produces fine silks and velvets. There are few old buildings in the city: two Seljuk Minarets and a Mosque of 1463.A wife of Harun-al-Rashid traditionally founded the city. Kashan produces carpets in both wool and silk. The former have cotton warps and blue cotton wefts. Several qualities are produced, but most Kashan carpets are quite finely knotted. All-over and medallion designs are produced; the shape of the Kashan medallion is distinctive; it is formed of alternating curved lines and right angles. The commonest scheme is a red field with a blue medallion, with subsidiary details in other colours. The borders of Kashan carpets are also distinctive. The main border is generally flanked by guard-stripes with geometrical designs, normally tiny blue and red triangles. Kashan carpets are made in all sizes. The town of Natanez, to the southeast, gives its name to pictorial rugs similar in weave to those of Kashan.
