For many centuries Iran has been famous for an art that is uniquely developed and celebrated among its people. This beautiful art is not just the making of carpets but also the intertwining of the Iranian soul, love, traditions, and feelings in every knot that is tied on their rugs. Affirming the uniqueness of Persian rugs, a carpet master spontaneously and passionately said, “If you want to say something beautiful, just throw your words between the flowers of your rug and let the carpet talk…”
The association of the words Persian and carpet is deep-rooted with a history as long as that of Persia itself. While for many the Persian of ancient times is a remote footnote in classical history, the carpets made then and mentioned in glowing terms by Greeks such as Herodotus are still very much in evidence, as is the high esteem in which they are still held.
