Najafabad rugs originate in the Isfahan Province of central Iran. As well as being a well known and respected center for area rug weaving, Najafabad is also the trade center for an agricultural region noted for its pomegranates. Najafabad rugs woven are not distinctive to the city, but rather to the region. The style follows most closely the designs and colors of its neighbors in Isfahan and Kashan and to a lesser degree Yadz and Ardekan. Although not the equal of the legendary Isfahan area rug, Najafabad rugs are of extremely good quality and have great symmetry to them. Local artisans use Persian knots which offer greater precision.

'''Najafabad''' is a city located near Isfahan in the '''Isfahan''' Province of central Iran. Najafabad carpets are known in the trade from the second quarter of the twentieth century. They are categorized as [[Isfahan Rug|ISFAHAN]] carpets in the world market. Najafabad carpets are produced in large quantities and are mainly marketed as an inexpensive alternative to Isfahans in the domestic and foreign export markets. By the last quarter of the twentieth century, weaving quality changed in Najafabad, as in many other villages and cities in Iran. Some Isfahan manufacturers of silk foundation rugs came to establish looms in Najafabad weavers' homes to make carpets of a similar style and equal quality to fine Isfahan carpets.<ref> Moheban, 2015, p.420</ref>
