Isfahan Rugs: Antique Persian Carpets

Antique Isfahan Rugs from the 17th Century – Mid-20th Century

Antique Isfahan Rugs (or Esfahans Rugs) , claim a very proud tradition among Persian rugs going back to Safavid times in the seventeenth century. Isfahan was then the capital of Persia and many of the court quality carpets of this period that survive today have been attributed to Isfahan.
