Kashan lies on an ancient Silk Road route running from Anatolia through Tehran toward Yazd and on to India, and has been renowned for its weaving since the fifteenth century, when European kings and nobility commissioned carpets from its looms for their courts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom around 1870 Kashan entered an era of exquisite manufactories — names such as Dabir and Mohtasham among other outstanding workshops — and the city's reputation was built on the finest imported English Manchester wool and, for its most precious pieces, on silk.
