Ābādeh

Abadeh lies on the high road between Isfahan and Shiraz, amid the uplands of northern Fars. Its artisans are known for fine wood carving, a craft passed through generations and applied to objects of everyday use. Carved wooden spoons are among the products associated with the town, their delicate designs often drawing on flowers and plants. The settlement's position on the route between two great cities placed its workshops and markets within the traffic crossing the Iranian plateau.
