Tehran Rugs

As the capital of Persia, Tehran became a significant center for high-quality rug production in the late 19th century. Because Tehran did not have a centuries-old “tribal” style, its workshops drew inspiration from all the great weaving centers like Isfahan, Kashan, and Kerman. Antique Tehran rugs are characterized by their exceptional technical precision, thin handles, and “pictorial” or “curvilinear” designs.

They often feature deep, sophisticated colors—like midnight blue and rich burgundy—and frequently depict intricate “Tree of Life” scenes or hunting motifs. A Tehran rug is a hallmark of urban Persian sophistication, perfect for formal galleries or executive studies.

Tehran rugs are known for elegant Persian design and fine craftsmanship. Their patterns often emphasize harmony, detail, and sophistication.
