NASRABAD

Origin Type

This kind of carpets are made by the Afshar tribes in Iran. Nasrabad carpets are very high quality rugs that are produced near the city of Isfahan. Due to the similar pattern of geometrical flowers Nasrabad rugs often are seen as Kashkouli carpets. They also use figurative patterns. The pile is strong and durable. In some Nasrabad carpets central medallion patterns are woven, which make them easier to differentiate from Kashoulis. The wool quality is excellent which gives a Nasrabad rug a long live. Similar to Bidjar rugs the knot count goes from 180.000 to 250.000 Knots per sqm. Due to tight knotting it is not recommend to fold the carpet but rather to role it. Nasrabad sizes are small to runner size.
