The town of Joshaghan, located in the Isfahan province of central Iran, has lent its name to a design woven in a number of centers, but most frequently in Kashan in the late 19th and early 20th century. It derives from the lozenge lattice designs of the 18th century, some of which are indeed attributed to Joshagan. These in turn come from Kirman 'vase' carpet designs. The design has many variants, but all have numerous lozenges containing grids of flowerheads as can be seen here.
The present carpet is notable for the variety and richness of the colours within its palette. Greater in number than usual, it endows the carpet with an increased sense of richness than is normally encountered.
