Zenjan is a small market town in north west Persia which produces two kind of rugs: 1) similar to those of Bijar they are usually of inferior quality, but the best of these are a better product than the vastly inferior to Bidjars or Tekab and sometime less expensive, 2) similar to those of Hamadan and Moussel / Khamseh but of better quality than Hamadan and its surrounding region. Zanjan is the capital of the Iranian province bearing the same name, this city gives its name to carpets of medium quality characterised by the herati motif or by a large, geometrical centre medallion. |
