  • Saraband rugs are a form of Persian Oriental Rugs. Saraband is a village of western Iran. This art belongs to the southeast of Arak, which is the central west area of Iran, and the south of Malayer. These rugs are usually double weft and knotted in a symmetrical way. Therefore, these carpets are handwoven like other Persian luxurious rugs. But famous for unobtrusive and sturdy charm. Saraband and the Mir-Saraband rug is an art from the 19th and early 20th Centuries. This handmade rug is usually used as a floor covering and the design consists of small leaves forms in diagonal rows. The tips of the leaves are pointed in opposite dimensions.
