The Ahar carpet is a type of Azerbaijani carpet made in the town of Ahar in Ahar County near Mount Sabalan in Iran.[1]
History
Over the last 30 years Ahar carpets have emerged as a recognizable group in the marketplace, and are sold in many parts of Iran outside its town of origin.
Characteristics
It is a distinctive carpet in the Heriz group of carpets. However the Ahar rug has a more linear design than the Heriz types. The rug is designed so the knot counts are higher but no higher than many carpets that have the geometric design [2]
