Persian carpets were being produced even before the first Persian Empire was built.

Speaking to the people of Iran, you will quickly discover the sense of national pride over the industry. Iran’s weavers still use the same age-old techniques used by countless generations before them. Persian carpets have played a key role in the progression of Persian art and culture, and the industry therefore carries great historic importance. The oldest known Persian carpet dates as far back as the 5th Century BC. Named the Pazyryk Rug (meaning ‘something under foot’) it is believed to have been woven at the time of the Persian Achaemenid Empire, and its highly advanced knotting suggests carpet weaving began even before the Achaemenid rule. 

Historically, nomads, clerics and kings alike utilized the rugs from Persia as floor coverings and decorations. Today, these carpets are appreciated as artworks as well as investment worthy pieces. They are also appreciated around the world for their fine quality of weave, beautiful colors and artistic patterns.

Their presence takes us on an exhilarating journey to the exotic, faraway lands, of bygone eras. These rugs have an essence to them that is truly one of a kind.
