== History ==
−'''Sabzevar''' is an old city located in the '''Khorasan''' Province of northeastern Iran. Situated on the road between Meshad and Tehran, Sabzevar is an important commercial and agricultural center for the surrounding towns and villages. During the late nineteenth century, Sabzevar wool was in demand and purchased by [[Kashan Rug|Kashan]] weavers because of its high quality.<br>
−Sabzevar carpets are known in the market from the turn of the twentieth century.<br>
−After World War II, carpet production in Sabzevar greatly increased, under the supervision of Meshad manufacturers, who used the lower-cost Sabzevar weavers to produce rugs similar in coloration and designs to Meshad carpets.<br>
−Sabzevar carpets were mostly marketed as [[Mashad Rug|Meshad]] or Khorasan carpets domestically and abroad.<br>
−Some early Sabzevar [[Baluch Rug|Baluchs]] were made fine in quality and consist of colorful designed kilims at both ends of the rug. The kilim finishes add charm to these nomadic rugs.<br>
−By the late twentieth century, many Sabzevar weavers switched from their traditional designs to make carpets similar to those of other weaving regions in Iran in accordance with the demand of domestic and foreign export consumers.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.476-477</ref><br>
−== Materials ==
−=== Foundation and Pile ===
−Medallion or allover styles with traditional Shah Abbas palmette, leaf, and vine motifs were popular.<br>
−Baluch tribal weavings from the surrounding area are also marketed in this city. They have a wool foundation and a wool pile. After World War II, most of the foundations were converted to cotton.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.476</ref><br>
−== Techniques and structures ==
−=== Color and dyeing ===
−Field and border colors are reds, blues, or ivory. Additionally, shades of green, gold, gray, cinnamon, brown, and other traditional colors are used for the design elements.<br>
−Sabzevar red-blue background colorations are also similar to those of [[Mashad Rug|Meshads]].<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.476</ref><br>
−=== Motifs and Designs ===
−The carpet designs are [[Floral Design|floral]] and greatly influenced by Meshad carpet styles.<br>
−Medallion or allover styles with traditional Shah Abbas palmette, leaf, and vine motifs were popular.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.476</ref><br>
−=== Weaving techniques ===
−The Persian ([[Asymmetrical Knot|asymmetric]]) knot is employed. Sizes range from approximately five feet by three feet to large room formats. They are generally woven in grade qualities of good to fine.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.476</ref><br>

−Sabzevar is a town located on the northwestern part of the province of Khorassan, in northeastern Iran. The pattern and colors used in most Sabzevar rugs are somewhat similar to those of the carpets woven in the holy city of Mashad. A traditional round central medallion pattern is dominant in Sabzevars with rich burgundy as the main color, and blue, and some green accents throughout. Lately, Sabzevar has started producing a series of very fine rugs, some with silk blended in with the wool. Such pieces are not the traditional design of a Sabzevar. Instead they adopt the patterns of other cities throughout Iran.
