Eastern Persian Carpet
Size: 6 foot 6 inch by 9
foot 8 inch.
I selected this carpet
because of the great wool, attractive color, and good construction.
This rug is from Sabzavar and is known for having the best wool in
Eastern Iran. It is also symmetrically knotted which indicates higher
quality in Eastern Persian carpets. Sabzavar is the home of some of the
very best wool because of the trace minerals in the water. Sheep need
trace amounts of copper in the water to produce the highest quality
wool.
This is a beautiful Persian
Carpet from Sabzavar. Sabzavar is an ancient city that has been one
that has been an important city in the production of fine Persian
Carpet since at least 1565. Why then don't we see more carpets from
Sabzavar in the west. The main reason is that when they are shipped
here they are usually called Isfahan or Mashad or sometimes even
Sarouk.
Color is difficult over the
internet, please use the Direct Scan below for the best representation
of color in this rug.
