About This Carpet |
||
|
Sabzevar is a
town in the area surrounding Mashad, the capital and largest city of
Khorassan, a vast province in Northeastern Iran. Mashad serves as the market
for the rugs made by all the different ethnic groups that inhabit this
sometimes remote and sparsely populated region. Mashad and the
rest of its surrounding villages tend to weave carpets of a common design:
dark blue medallion, dark-blue border, dark blue corner and a red ground
filled with large floral designs. The carpets made in Sabzevar, however, have
several features that set them apart. For example, the medallions on Sabzevar
carpets have unique pendants, and the field is usually less busy. In addition, Sabzevar carpets use more
light blue and cream in their color schemes, so that that the dark blue does
not dominate as much. This beautiful
carpet has a blue and cream medallion, a red field with multi-colored floral
designs, light blue corners and a dark blue border. |
