Golpayegan Rugs - Rugman.comGolpayegan literally means “fortress of flowers” and is a small regional market center located between Hamedan and Tehran. In addition to being in a major agricultural region, Golpayegan is known for producing some of the world’s most beautiful area rugs. Due in large part to its proximity to Viss, they tend to produce similar types of area rugs. However, in comparison to others produced in the surrounding area, Golpayegan rugs are of a much finer quality. They certainly differentiate themselves with more intense colors and contrasts in addition to very attractive geometric shapes. Golpayegan rugs are woven using the asymmetrical knot with an average KPSI (knots per square inch) of 82.[citation needed]
