Enjelas from West Persia

Description of Design and History :
Enjelas is a town some ten miles southeast of Hamadan in Iran . Villages in the area weave rugs with the symmetric knot on single-wefted, scatter size rugs with a cotton foundation. The designs are Herati pattern or all-over botehs.
Enjelas rugs are very similar to the rugs made in Hamadan. Hamadan is a city and provincial capital in northwest Iran, ancient Ecbatana. It is the collection and shipping centre of an important rug-weaving area. Hundreds of towns and villages in the region produce scatter size rugs and runners for export. Many of these towns and villages are populated by Kurds. Distinctive designs are associated with particular towns and villages in the region. The rugs of Hamadan are single-wefted and most of them have a cotton foundation. Early examples may have a wool foundation and a camel-coloured field. The rugs have symmetric knots.
