Ahar rug

The Ahar carpet is a type of Persian carpet made in the town of Ahar in Ahar County near Mount Sabalan in Iran [Nouri-Zadeh, Sh., "Persian Carpet; The Beautiful Picture of Art in History", Retrieved on June 5 2008] .

History

Over the last 30 years Ahar carpets have emerged as a recognizable group in the marketplace, and are sold in many parts of Iran outside its town of origin.

Characteristics

It is a distinctive carpet in the Heriz group of carpets. However the Ahar rug has a more linear design than the Heriz types. The rug is designed so the knot counts are higher but no higher than many carpets that have the geometric design [ [http://www.persiancarpetguide.com/sw-asia/Rugs/Persian/Ahar_Rugs/Ahar_Rugs.htm www.persiancarpetguide.com] , Retrieved on June 5 2008]
