Sultanabad Rugs : In the province of Farahan is found the city of Arak, formerly known as Sultanabad, with 500,000 citizens it is built on the ruins of a small town called Daskerah.. The rugs woven in the city and surrounding villages are identical to the Sarouk rugs, but the quality, colours and designs are intended primarily for the U.S. market. The Sultanabad rugs are very sturdy due to their very tight weave and the fact that they are woven with a double weft. Their wool is of excellent quality. The colours used are red, pink, beige and dark blue as a background. Their designs consist mainly of medallions surrounded by plain coloured surfaces. Also full, dense and fine designs are woven, with curvilinear flowers like in the Kirman rugs.
Antique Rugs : Antiques
Classic rugs: Rugs that are woven in urban centres in fixed workshops and looms(as opposed to nomads). Their designs are first done on paper by rug designers. These designs are strictly conducted by the weaver during the manufacturing. Even in these rugs, though there may be slight variations in weaving.
All CarpetU2 carpets are subject to cleaning with high quality antibacterial and moth protection products according to Persian law.
Horizontal or vertical shading in the rug pile: The shading is due to folding the rug during transportation. When the rug is laid and stepped-on they will vanish. Examples
Abrash: Due to the different amount of grease in the wool and the added salt during the process of dyeing, the wool has got a varying colour absorbance. This is not very visible before weaving. During the weaving though, lines of the same colour are formed in the rug. This is called Abrash (which in Farsi means little cloud) and it shows that the wool was not manufactured using chemical means and marks the naturalness and authenticity of the rugs. Examples
