Persian Carpets

It has been said: “Persian carpets are the symbol of poetic luxury.”

Persian Carpets are an inseparable part of Iranian art and culture, hand knotting of carpets dates back to ancient Persia. Persian carpets were first mentioned around 400 B.C. by the Greek author Xenophon; however, flat weaving dates back to the Sassanid dynasty, when Persian silk textiles were preserved in European churches as coverings for relics..

These authentic Persian handicrafts have spectacular designs and patterns in a range of stunning colors. Every city uses it's own carpet style and pattern according to the cultural tastes of the weavers skilled hands. In most Persian carpets fine sheep’s wool and or silk threads are knotted to form fascinating designs. High-quality carpets from Qom, Tabriz, Kashan, Nain, and Isfahan have all-silk piles that are sometimes used as wall-hangings as well. The more the number of knots, the higher the quality will be.

Traditional dyes used in Persian carpets are taken from plants and insects. As an example, red from “Madder”, yellow from “onion”, and black from “Oak apples”.
