Veramin Rugs and Carpets

Veramin is an important center of weaving in Iran. A tribal center for centuries or longer Veramin somehow escaped the heavy foreign influences that affected other areas. To my eye the rugs seem a little purer that Persian Carpets designed by European or American. Add to this the great color and splendid wool used in Veramin and you have excellent rugs.

About JBOC

I have enjoyed the study of Oriental Rugs for years. I am not really in the rug business but it relaxes me to study and write about rugs. For years I was a consultant to business and Government in the Washington DC area. Now I work in Advertising. I have even dabbled in politics over the last 34 years. I have worked for a wide range of candidate from Ronald Reagan to John Kerry and frankly the Kerry gig paid better. I travel to Iran periodically but more about that later.
