JBOC Comments: See also my older Kashan Rugs and
Carpets Guide
| Souf rugs are popular in
Iran and little understood elsewhere except by Persians and people who
really know fine carpets. Thy have a three dimensionality that does not
come across in a picture. Additionally a Souf is art it is not meant to
be walked upon. A Souf is a rug that combines flatweave and pile.
Typically the ground is done in Flatweave and the design is executed in
pile. Metal wrapped thread is often used. Kashan is traditionally the
home of Souf rugs but we also see them from Qum. There are also tribal
soufs which I believe come from Khorasan. |
