Persian Rugs: Guide to Enjilas Rugs and Carpets

Van-Ham Old Herati Enjilas Rug

Enjilas is a village just south of Hamadan and west of Gombad. It is too small to show up on most maps. The village is noted for the best quality of Hamadan Rug. I remeber a very traditional blue field herati

Just to the north of Enjilas is Everu. Everu rugs are close in quality to Enjilas rugs but they are coarser and not quite as pretty. Nontheless they are often sold as Enjilas since Enjilas rugs bring a little more money. Enjilas rugs are about the finest of the hamadan rugs at 105 - 130 kpsi. 130 kpsi is equal to 30 Raj as the Iranians count it and is low for a city rug but Hamadan Rugs are village rugs and that is very respetable. Everu rugs for example genneraly come in at about 90 kpsi

Enjilas Rugs use the Hamadan Rug Weave

Single weft is called "Sennah Baft" or Hamadan weave. Here the wefts are rigid and the warps are sinuous. As you can see in the sketch the wefts are heavier than the warps. It is woven with symmetrical knots. Since there is only one shot of weft between each row of knots this shows every other warp which makes these rugs easy to spot.
