Persian Najafabad Wool Rug - 2.18 x 1.40 tribalNajafabad rugs originate from Najafabad, located in central Iran near the city of Isfahan. As well as being a well known and respected center for area rug weaving, Najafabad is also the trade center for an agricultural region noted for its pomegranates. Najafabad rugs woven are not distinctive to the city, but rather to the region. The style follows most closely the designs and colors of its neighbors in Isfahan and Kashan and to a lesser degree Yadz
The woollen Kashan has between 120 and 240 knots to each square inch

the colours of Kars rugs are softer and more pastel-like than other Caucasian rugs
