for all size rugs, carpets and runners. Situated in
between Sarouk and Hamadan they are like a merger

History
Mehraban (Mehriban) The northern most outpost of
the American Sarouk “Bulge” is
Mehraban, an administrative district north of
Hamadan incorporating a large number of villages
whose individual names are never used in the
carpet trade.
Characteristics
There are two distinct types of Mehraban, both
single wefted: the older style, which is more
geometric. Best known for long, narrow runners
and carpets. Hamadan Mehraban is based on the
American Sarouk style and seems to have begun as
a king of superior Darjezine. Many other designs
also exist in the new-style production, some of
them being further developments of the American
style, others quite different, including for
example geometric, slightly Caucasian- looking
patterns. The quality is Good: Fine thick yarn
with great natural luster, combined with a fine
weave, the Yarn has a high twist, which gives the
back of the rug a knobby effect. The most common
ground color is dark blue, but a whole range of
other shades is readily available red, cream,
gold and light blue in particular but in the main
the overall color effects are better than in most
new Hamadans.
