Description
Arak carpets are handknotted in the Arak region of northwestern Iran. The carpets are known for their floral patterns and soft, muted colors. They are durable, have a high knot density and are typically made of good quality wool and/or silk.
The designs of Arak carpets often feature intricate floral motifs and curving vines, with colours ranging from pale greens and blues to soft pinks and creams.
Arak carpets are highly prized for their craftsmanship and beauty, and are often used in formal settings such as dining rooms, reception areas, libraries and living rooms.
