Taleghan is a small town southwest of the city of Tehran, in central Iran. It produces a series of beautiful and carefully constructed handmade rugs, which closely resemble the legendary rugs of Kashan and some other fine rug producing centers in central Iran. Taleghan rugs usually have a traditional floral spray design, with a carefully designed medallion, usually on a background of red, burgundy, or fuchsia. The quality of these rugs is marvelous. A Taleghan handmade Persian carpet would be a great complement to a room where elegance and style are valued.
