Saraband Iranian handmade carpet
In Saraband, there are about 3,000 trees and it is concentrated in 30 villages, half of which are located in three villages that weave the famous Sarabandi carpet. The design of this carpet is known as Bat Miri. The weavers of other villages are poor. Saraband carpets are made of two fabrics and are woven with Turkish knots.
The characteristics of the carpet are Saraband
Color: The presence of natural dyes such as rhubarb, hair leaves, walnut leaves and bark, oak bark, pomegranate peel, as well as skilled local dyers has led to the spread of dyeing and carpet weaving in this area. Today, the use of industrial paints is also common in this area.
The color scheme and arrangement of the color of Saraband carpet is relatively diverse. The colors of the carpet are mostly blue, lacquer, milky, and date, and the fringe colors are white and some other light colors, which is why these rugs are called milkshakes.
Design and Role: The most famous carpet design in this area is Kaj Saraband, which is called Mir plant and is a combination of groups of chicken plants. In the market, these carpets are also called die or die. This design is woven in the carpets of Mal Mir area.
“There is no other design in the Saraband area other than plant designs,” writes Cecil Edwards in his book The Carpet of Iran. Interestingly, the role of the Saraband plant is usually devoid of environmental lines. Saraband carpets are coarse and very durable, and in this area, in addition to carpets and rugs, carpets such as kilim, zillow, jajim, and fabric, such as carbon, are also woven.
Texture: The knot of these carpets is symmetrical and sometimes asymmetrical, and its weave is double-woven and its fabric is made of cotton and woolen lint. The area of Saraband carpet is usually between 6 and 9 square meters and it includes carpets and bedspreads and double rugs.
