SAFAVID

The Safavid dynasty, which ruled Iran from 1501 to 1736, was a period marked by profound artistic and cultural flourishing. This era saw the creation of many of the masterpieces that have come to define the Persian carpet tradition. The designs, techniques, and level of craftsmanship established during the Safavid period continue to inspire and shape the carpets being woven today, making it a truly seminal time in the history of Persian rug-making.
