Boroujerd is a district in western Iran in the province of Lorestan. Lorestan is also where some of the famous Lori tribal rugs are woven. Boroujerd rugs however, bear a striking resemblance not to Lori rugs, but to the rugs of Malayer which take much from the traditional Sarouk. A Boroujerd often has an all-over pattern consisting of the famous boteh. Traditional floral designs can also be seen in these rugs. Colors frequently used in a Boroujerd are red, burgundy, ivory, and navy blue. |

Kashan is an important city in central Iran, with a magnificent history of carpet weaving dating from the 16th century. Classic pieces show a diamond-shaped medallion with small matching spandrels on a floral field, but all-over fields of Shah Abbas flowers, pictorial and hunting scenes are also found. They are mostly in wool, but some have been woven in pure silk. Traditional theme colors are reds and blues, but more recently Kashans have been woven in paler beiges, with greyish-blue and olive-green tones, for the international market. |
