Guide to Mehriban Rugs and
Carpets
Mehriban is an important production center for
all size rugs, carpets and runners.
Situated in between Sarouk and Hamadan they are
like a merger of the two. The style tends towards
the floral spray American Sarouk but the weave is
single wefted like the Hamadan district. Mehriban
rugs are generally sturdy hard wearing rugs with
good wool and traditional designs.

Mehriban 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.
