Characteristics of Mir and Seraband Rugs

Mir rugs are easy to distinguish from other Persian rugs as the majority feature the same trademark design- an all-over 'Boteh' (known as Paisley in the west) pattern in the foreground, which is framed by a large geometric border. Most weavers have their own variation on this signature style and occasionally may also incorporate a central medallion with corner pieces as seen in the example below, the core design however tends to remain the same.

Mir rugs are made with wool which is hand-knotted onto cotton warp strings (the warp strings form the carpet's foundations). They are woven with the highest quality of wool that can be used for a floor covering, called 'Kork' in Farsi. As a result the rugs have a beautiful sheen and are extremely soft to the touch
