SABZEVAR Carpet Properties: |
Visibility:
SABZEVAR rugs and carpets are characterized by curvilinear patterns. The main feature that distinguishes SABZEVAR rugs and carpets from others in this region is a rounded medallion. I should also mention that there is great similarity between SABZEVAR rugs and carpets and those produced in MASHAD. You can also find HERATI designs in older SABZEVAR rugs and carpets.
Quality:
SABZEVAR rugs and carpets are of excellent quality.
Size & Shapes:
SABZEVAR rugs and carpets come in different sizes, but the majority of them are mid-size (4 x 6 to 8 x 10 feet). You can also find large rugs up to 10 x 18 feet.
Color:
Dark red, blue, and khaki are the main colors used in SABZEVAR rugs and carpets. There are other colors such as soft green and brown found in newer carpets.
Texture:
Soft wool; thin, tight pile.
Foundation:
Warps is mostly cotton; wefts is either cotton or wool.
Knots:
Inspection of the back of the carpet is important because the weavers in SABZEVAR use both Persian and Turkish knots. The quality of the carpet depends upon the number of knots, which varies, but averages from around 120 KPSI (30 RAJ) up to 475 KPSI (60 RAJ).
Price:
SABZEVAR carpets are among the nicest looking and finest quality carpets. They are therefore in high demand and are more costly than many other carpets. Expect to pay $3-$10 Per Square Foot (PSF) for a carpet from SABZEVAR. Keep in mind that, as a rule, the higher the KPSI, the greater is the price.

SABZEVAR is composed of two parts, a mountainous area and a plains area. The weather is warm in the plains, but mild in the mountains. In the Islamic Period, Bayhagh State had two cities, Sabzevar and Khosrowgerd. These cities were completely ruined after an attack by Mongols. In 1368 CE, Sabzevar was a place of refuge and the capital city of the Sarbedaran movement against the Arab occupation, which won it the name of "Darolmomenin" (City Of Believers). In the period of the Ozbakans, this city was again ruined, but developed once more in the Safavid Dynasty. In the last few decades, SABZEVAR has flourished. Important historical monuments of the city are:
- Khosrowgerd minaret.
- Tombs of Shah Tahmasb, Pirestir, Pirmorad, Molana Kashefi, and Molla Hadi Sabzevari,
