Handmade Afshar Sirjan Persian carpets

Handmade Afshar Sirjan carpets

The Afshar Sirjan tribe is located around the city of Kerman in southeastern Iran. For hundreds of years these nomads lived in northwestern Iran, but part of the tribe was compulsorily relocated to today’s area, where carpet production has become an important line of business. Afshar Sirjan carpets are also known in the market as Sirjan and today in the nearby city of
Shahr Babak
similar carpets are produced, with a higher density and more detailed patterns.

Afshar Sirjan carpets have geometric patterns with shades of red and blue. The most common pattern involves a large centerpiece with one or more square medallions. The design of these rugs is mostly suitable for those who want to have a traditional rug that fits perfectly in the modern environment. The colors used in these rugs are perfect in homes with a modern style, but at the same time these rugs are also suitable for traditional settings. The quality of these rugs is high due to the materials and knotting style. These carpets last a long time and are durable.
