Antique Persian rugs are amongst the most coveted in the antique carpets world, and when you see the exquisite beauty of authentic Persian rugs, you’ll know why.
The term ‘Persian rugs’ is somewhat misleading, because this is one of the most diverse regions when it comes to styles and patterns. The art of carpet-making was so advanced and the region so fertile with skilled artisans that numerous towns and villages – such as Tabriz, Kashan, Shiraz, and Heriz – became famous for their own unique styles. For all intents and purposes, Iran is the birthplace of the most exquisite carpets even today.
