Carpet weaving flourished during the Golden age of the Safavid Dynasty from the 15th-17th century. The first Safavid rugs were inspired by the patterns or arabesques developed initially in manuscript illumination and architectural décor, developing a unique antique rug style. These recreations aim to keep the magnificence alive by creating intricate patterns and using softer colors.
