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.
