Boroujerd rugs originate from Boroujerd, a city in the Province of Lorestan in western Iran, where some of the finest tribal traditional rug weavers can be found. The Province of Lorestan is also where the famous Lori tribal rugs are woven. For reasons that have yet to be explained, Boroujerd rugs do not resemble a Lori rug. Instead they are clearly influenced by the traditional rug weaving designs of Malayer. The skilled artisans in Boroujerd ply their craft with great attention to detail, diligently tying the asymmetrical Persian knot. In order to produce a superior quality traditional rug, it is quite common for a highly skilled weaver to spend months devoted to producing a single rug.
