Sabzevar Rug

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. This rug is an ideal way for adding a touch of class to a room setting where elegance is cherished.
