Varamine 432x312 cm

Manufacturing District: Tehran, Iran
Material: Wool with silk elements and cotton warp
Number of knots per square meter: approx. 400 - 425,000 knots per square meter

Varamin used to be outside Tehran but as the capital grew, the village ended up more and more inside the borders. As a result, the standard of living has also been raised, which means that carpet knotting is no longer profitable. The young people are moving to the city and more opportunities have opened up, which in turn means a dying carpet production in the village.
The Varamin rugs have geometric patterns with repeated medallions, especially on the gallery rugs. They are made by tribes that either live in Varamin or pass through the village.
The quality is very good and the rugs come in several different sizes, with the majority being "medium size" from 120x200cm up to 250x350cm.
The colors are dark brown and dark red colors on khaki or dark blue backgrounds. The wool is soft, thin and fine while the warp is woven from cotton. The carpets that are tied in the village and in the studios use the Persian knot, while the nomads use the Turkish knot.
