Abadeh - Persian and oriental rug guide

ABADEH

Abadeh is located in southern Iran on the road between Shiraz and Isfahan, close to the area where the Afshari and Qashqai live and make well-knotted, sturdy rugs with cotton wefts. There are typical Abadeh patterns: the most common, known as hebatlu, is of tribal origin with a large central diamond-shaped medallion that divides the rug into four corner-pieces and a central cream or blue field with a stylized medallion that is repeated five times. The background is decorated with stylized designs: stars, coloured polygons and birds. Sometimes there may also be deer heads with long horns. The other typical, though less frequent pattern is a classic Persian floral design, known as Zellol Sultan. Here there is a repeated motif of a vase of flowers flanked by a bird on either side. The Abadeh make rugs in many sizes from the small scatter- or bed-rug, up to 300 x 200 cm and runners.
