Varamin Rug History

The city of Varamin is located southeast of Tehran, the capital of Iran. This historical city contains the remains of many different dynasties of Iranian kings. Many Iranian people, including Kurds, Turks, Afshars, etc., have migrated to this city due to the geographical location of Varamin near Tehran. Therefore, people from different cultures and manners live in Varamin. This way of life has created a unique style of traditional Iranian handmade rugs that originated from the mentality of rural and tribal people.

Varamin carpets have unique designs. They are known all over the world because of these distinctive patterns. The most famous design among Varamin Iran carpets is called the “Minakhani” design. In this design, a small flower is repeated throughout the background, surrounded by four white flowers reminiscent of the daffodil flower. These flowers are connected by branches and create an overall pattern of the Interconnected.

Behind these seemingly simple motifs, various stories and narratives are rooted in the culture and beliefs of the people of this region. The popularity of the Minakhani design among carpet weavers is such that it is woven in other cities besides Varamin. In addition to carpet weaving, kilim weaving is also common in Varamin. Large kilims are woven in this region with dark local wool.
