According to the family's official website, Kashizadeh's rug-making tradition spans four generations. Master Hossein Kashizadeh makes art rugs, while his sons participate in production and business. Clear geometric structure containing abundant floral ornament offers a way to understand the works: details are dense, yet the whole retains order.
Works and style
Contemporary works
Khatam uses radial geometry as a structure for dense floral ornament. Four Seasons presents connections between different image sections. The former invites close attention to how patterns are organised around the centre; the latter to how its parts respond to one another. These compositions offer different rhythms of viewing.

Family archive
The family's official website records that Mirza Ali Akbar taught and produced rugs, and his son Gholamreza continued the practice. Hossein, of the third generation, is named as a master and makes art rugs. In the fourth generation, Ali manages production and Kazem undertakes international communication and project work. These distinct responsibilities together form the family's production and continuity.
Kashizadeh works can be approached through Khatam's radial geometry and floral layers, then through the image sections of Four Seasons. Centre, pattern and connections between sections offer different compositional clues, establishing readable links between the family archive and particular works.
