Red Nahavand Persian Oriental Area Rug 5x7 Wool id6847

Nahavand is a tribal rug woven in the village of Nahavand, north of the town of Hamedan in north-western Iran. Most of the Nahavands made are about 5 feet by 8 feet, because the semi nomadic weavers use simple horizontal floor-looms. They feature floral spray designs and geometric patterns, often in bright orange with royal blue details, rust or a reddish salmon. The fame of the Nahavand is due to the lustrous quality of the wool used to weave it. The thick soft pile always shines under a light.
