The art of carpet weaving existed in Iran in ancient times and dates back to 500b.c. It was not only for making rug it is also considered a art form.

Persian rug making dates back to 16th century Iran, Rugs take their names from the place where they were woven, and the rich, distinctive patterns are both symbolic and reflective of a particular technique.
