Nehavand is a Persian tribal rug hand-woven rug, made by in the village of Nehavand, which is north of the town of Hamedan, in Northwestern Iran. Most of the Nehavands made are about 5 feet by 8 feet. They don't usually come in very large sizes because the weavers use simple horizontal looms on the ground and it is extremely difficult to construct bigger rugs. They feature floral spray designs and geometric patterns, often in a rust or reddish salmon color. The fame of the Nehavand is greatly due to the quality of the wool used to weave it. The thick soft and lustrous pile always shines under the light. Most Nehavands are soft enough for a baby to sleep on. This is a one of a kind hand made tribal rug, which has no duplicates anywhere.
