carpet kerman retail rug sales::Raver was a town 120 miles from kerman where the atiyeh family owned a large number of looms.
Through the 20th century the atiyehs were a major or perhaps the major producer of kerman carpets.
It only stopped when due to the islamic revolution and ensuing difficulties they shifted production to china.
Other villages besides raver include mahan, jupar, rafsanjani, kupayeh district, chatrud, khanuk, hudk, sarasiab, dewziah, seredar, mazabad, gok, and zarand.
The best books on kerman rugs are the persian carpet by cecil edwards and oriental carpet design.
Edwards praised kerman carpets extensively and felt they were the best of persia and best in the world.
He noted that due to the use of roller looms they were weaving up to 15 by 30 foot carpets.
