Front View

The rug's wool pile hasn't been shaved even yet. The rug still needs to be shaved and washed before the fringe will be cut shorter.

About the Design: This rug has a Sarouk-like design that is from the village of Jozan in Iran. Jozan is well known for navy blue fields and floral sprays. The wool quality is very high featuring both a silky-smooth texture as well as being very hard wearing. The medallion and corner design is common but not exclusive. Another common feature in the design is the rope-vine effect seen in the main border. This is very common in Jozan and often times mimicked by other villages in the Hamadan area.

When re-creating this rug, we tried to not lose the common characteristics that are typically found in Jozan rugs since they make the rug so appealing.
