Ahar Rug
Ahar rugs are hand knotted carpets originating from the city of Ahar in northwest Persia. These rugs are known for their high quality and intricate designs, which often incorporate floral motifs, medallions, and intricate borders.
Ahar rugs are typically made with high-quality wool or silk and may incorporate natural dyes for color. They are often woven with a high knot density, which allows for intricate detail and a luxurious feel underfoot.
Ahar rugs have a long history, with some examples dating back to the Safavid period in the 16th century. They are still produced today, with many skilled weavers continuing to create these beautiful and intricate rugs by hand. Ahar rugs are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts for their quality and unique designs.
