Brief History Of Mir Oriental Rugs

A Mir, whose word originates back from a few villages named Mir and Mirshi, is in the south of Ardabil, where these Mir pattern rugs were hand-knotted.

Western Persian regions such as Sarugh and Serabend, Mirabad, Kerman, and Tabris, were the centers for the production of Mir carpets.

Mir patterns have a constant field pattern, and they are also called Mir-e-Bota (or Mir-i-bota ) or “flea patterns.” It is repeated repeatedly on a red, dark blue, cream or, green-colored background.

In Oriental carpets, the Mir pattern used is one of the most common types of patterns in their carpets. It shows an upside-down drop that ends in a hook running to the left or right. The Sarough-Mir is probably one of the most famous carpets with this pattern, mostly knotted in an all-over design.
