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
genneraly stury hard wearing rugs with good wool and traditional
designs.

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.
