Persian rugs (or carpets) woven in Isfahan are perhaps the best and most valuable in the world. Isfahan carpets are hand-knotted. Many quality Isfahan carpets are based on silk foundations, because of this Isfahan carpets are of an excellent quality. Plush and soft yet durable to stand test of time. A long lasting treasure known to become even more beautiful as they age.
The artistry of making Persian carpets has changed little across the ages. During Safavid-era the art of carpet weaving flourished. Shah Abbas who also enjoyed weaving carpets, moved his capital from Qazvin to Isfahan. Isfahan then became the site of the most noted center of rug weaving. A reflection of the extreme appreciation the king had for this art.
