Isfahan of Iran

Isfahan was the Capital of Persia during the region of Shah-Abbas (1571-1629) had the most beautiful palaces, mosques and libraries. Architecture as well as carpet weaving flourished at this time.

Isfahan is without a doubt the most elegant, the stateliest and the most agreeable of the cities of Persia. Rare and precious carpets from this period are now kept in the museums all over the world.

Very fine well-knotted carpets are still being made in Isfahan today. Often woven with pure silk warps, the fascinating designs use lines and arabesques that are also common themes of Islamic architecture. Medallions are the most popular motifs, however, animals and flowers are also used. They are one of the finest rugs coming out of Iran now and are very popular among the lovers of Classical Persian Carpets.The most reputable weavers of Isfahan rugs are Seirafian, Haghighi and Shoreshi.
