Kachan fabrics and shawls were famous in the Sephardic period (16th-18th c.) and many "Polish" carpets were woven there. From the second half of the 19th century, Kechan again played an important role in the Persian production of quality carpets, especially thanks to Mostashem, the weaver who gave his name to quality carpets.
