"The Isfahan rug is among the most elegant and consistently fine carpets produced in Iran. The prestigious Esfahan rug is constructed with a cotton or silk foundation and the finest Kurk wool pile. The Esfahan rug reached the height of its fame during the Safavid dynasty due to east-west trade routes that were part of the Silk Road. Patterns found on a classical Isfahan rug include spiraling vinescrolls, formal pictorials, grand medallions and lavish Shah Abbasi palmettes set over a creamy ivory, soft blue or subdued red field. Today, the city of Isfahan is a World Heritage site that produces many of the most sought-after Persian carpets. "
Quom Rugs
The rugs made in the region of Quom are generally made of silk, but also wool or cotton. They are especially known for being used in prayers by the Muslims. Throughout the rug image we see symbols of divinity, very important for the Muslims religion.
