Varamin is one of Iran’s largest villages, located just 25 miles to the south-east of Tehran. An important centre for tribal weaving, Varamin has maintained its traditions at a time where many other carpet weaving centres are changing designs to suit foreign markets. Many rug experts see Varamins as purer Persian rugs.

The foundation of these rugs is mostly cotton and the wool piles are soft and close lying. Varamin rugs are often designed with mina-khani daisies, interlinked with diamond or circular patterns. Most Varamins are medium in size. Varamin rugs and carpets are, in general, excellent quality traditional rugs.
