DescriptionBibikabadDeprecated: Function utf8_encode() is deprecated in /home/orange26/public_html/antiquerugstudio/item.php on line 271 This town is located near Hamadan in western Iran and since the later 19th century has specialized in carpet sizes in overall patterns. Modern examples overlay these designs with a small central medallion. The outer border of antique pieces, as with contemporary Hamadans were particular popular and one can still find old examples up to 12 x 20. Runners and 4 x 6 of antique vintage are very rare. The weave is coarse and jufti knotting is frequent. Prices are moderate, possibly a bargain considering the rarity of the type. | |
