Sanandaj |

A few centuries ago many
beautiful carpets were woven in Sanandaj and Bijar.
Unfortunately, the quality of the more recent carpets in
Kordestan is not as good as those woven previously. The
designs of Sanandaj carpets are mostly monotonous and in
these last two centuries the designers and weavers have
taken many steps to improve or re touch the former designs.
Floral designs are strongly stylised and differ greatly
depending on the tribal style and tradition. The design that
is most preferred by the weavers is the "Botteh". This motif
is repeated in a parallel line several times in row on the
background of the carpet.
Anyhow this design is different
from those of Ghom, Arak, Kerman and Birjand.
One other design that is woven
by the able craftsmen is the Harati design, also known as
"Mfihi Zanburi" (fish-bee). Although the Persian knot is
known as "Senneh", the weavers of the area prefer the
Turkish knot instead of using the knot that bears the name
of their own town. Carpets woven in Sanandaj are very thin,
short-piled and have one weft after each row of knots.
In Sanandaj, they often weave
"Zar-o-nim" and "Sajjadeh"sizes. The dyers are very precise
in their profession. They usually use blue, dark blue,
brilliant red, yellow, brown and light pistachio colours.
Synthetic dyes are found rather infrequently. The wool used
to weave the carpets is hand-spun and very thin. |
