-Saveh rigs originate from Saveh, located in northwestern Iran, just south of Tehran and is home to the Shahsavan tribe. Shahsavan literally means “For those who love the Shah” in Farsi and is a title bestowed upon warriors in the 17th century who were defending the northern border of Persia. The majority of Saveh rugs are small pieces and rug runner styles as a result of being woven by nomadic people that used looms that were compact, making them easy to dismantle and transport when relocation became necessary. The rug runner style weavings were primarily used as saddle bags and animal trappings in addition to providing warm floor coverings in their tents. Saveh rugs have textiles that frequently use the Soumak and Kilim weaves. Soumak is a flatweave also referred to as weft wrapping that will produce a rug runner with a herringbone effect that looks similar to embroidery work. Kilim is a flatweave construction in which the weft yarns form the flat looped face of the rug.{{citation needed}}
