About Yazd Rugs
The city Yazd is located in central Iran, half way between Kashan, and Kerman. Yazd rugs usually have a single floral medallion in the center. In design, these are very similar to the rugs of Kashan. The two are often indistinguishable. These rugs are usually multicolored, meaning they have more than twenty colors, but they include mostly red, navy blue, and beige.

History & Construction
Yazd is an ancient city of central Iran which has been producing important carpets for at least four hundred years. It was the site of one of the earliest royal workshops of the Safavid Dynasty. Yazd carpets have great resemblance to those of Kashan in style and construction because of their geographic proximity. They are often mistaken one for the other, and sometimes require expert opinion to tell the difference.

I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.
