Arak Rugs
Arak Persian rugs are a type of hand knotted carpet that originates from the city of Arak, located in the western region of Persia. These rugs are renowned for their intricate designs, high knot density, and luxurious feel underfoot.
Arak rugs typically feature floral and geometric patterns, with a central medallion often serving as the focal point. The colors used in Arak rugs are typically rich and bold, incorporating natural dyes to achieve a wide rae of hues. These rugs are often made with high-quality wool or silk, which makes them durable and long-lasting.
Arak rugs have a long history dating back to the Safavid period in the 16th century. Many of the finest examples of Arak rugs were produced during this time and are now highly prized by collectors and museums around the world. Today, skilled weavers in Arak continue to produce these beautiful rugs using traditional methods and techniques.
One notable example of an Arak rug is the Arak Carpet, which was produced in the late 19th century and is now housed in the National Museum of Tehran. This magnificent rug features an intricate floral design in vibrant colors on a cream background.
Overall, Arak rugs are highly regarded for their exceptional quality and intricate designs and are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
