Persia the original name for Iran is known as the home of the oriental
carpet. Persia was once the most powerful empire in the Middles
East and known as the crossroads of eastern and western civilizations.
It was during the Safavid Dynasty that Iran reached its artistic
height. Tile work, calligraphy, painting, and court weaving flourished.
Soon the artistic ideas where appearing as patterns and designs
on the Persian carpets. It wasn't long before carpet factories were
founded in Tabriz, Kasha, Isfahan, and Kerman to name just a few
of the cities.
During 1722 when Afghan was invaded an abrupt end came to the Persian
carpet industry. In fact throughout the turbulent period which reached
into 1748 no carpets with any value were made. The only carpets
being made were those used by craftsmen and nomads.
During the reign of Oajar during the later part of the 19th century
the importance of the craftsman once again returned and once again
the Persian carpets flourished. Tabriz merchants were quick to begin
exporting carpets from Europe to Istanbul, and eventually to America
where there value, quality, and beauty were also quickly recognized.
The culture and the history of these rugs still appears today in
the magical designs and patterns which have come down through the
generations. These days there are many other major cities in Iran
