About the collection
A Persian Zanjan rug is a hand-made national Persian item that is characterized by its exquisite and intricate weaving. Since the Portuguese were the first to export Persian rugs to Europe in the 16th century, foreign influences can also be seen in Zanjan rugs.
Antique Zanjan rugs-making began as a cottage industry around 200 years ago, when Turkman tribesmen learning Persian carpet-weaving methods settled in Zanjān after migrating westwards from Central Asia during various periods of unrest. The owners of these Rugs are typically nomadic peoples such as Qashqai or Turkmen. Cheap and durable materials such as the wool of sheep and goats, cotton, silk and yarn in all shades of reds, yellows and blues were used to weave a huge range of carpets.
The traditional dyeing methods and materials make the Zanjan rug distinct from other Persian rugs. In the process of weaving, hand-spun wool is used through a loom specifically designed to accommodate the yarn. The most prominent parts of this rug are its borders, tassels, and pile.
