DescriptionBibikabadThis town is located near Hamadan in western Iran and since the later 19th century has specialized in carpet sizes in overall patterns. Modern examples overlay these designs with a small central medallion. The outer border of antique pieces, as with contemporary Hamadans were particular popular and one can still find old examples up to 12 x 20. Runners and 4 x 6 of antique vintage are very rare. The weave is coarse and jufti knotting is frequent. Prices are moderate, possibly a bargain considering the rarity of the type. | |
