The land of the Iranians, known to Europeans for centuries as Persia,
is fractured by mountain ranges, made inhospitable by deserts, yet rich in fertile plains, forests and jewel-like gardens.
Home to the most sublime architecture in the world, and a breeding ground for poets, empires, mathematicians, astronomers, mystics and saints, it has an enduring and invincible fascination. Our mission is to enrich your understanding of this great civilization, from the empires of Xerxes and Cyrus, the Parthians and Sassanians, the Mongol and Oghuz, the Safavids, and Rumi, Hafez, Saadi and Omar Khayyam to Ayatollah Khomeni and the modern state.
If a rug has a Brand Name or a Commercial Quality it is immediately suspect.
On the contrary, and quite simply put, our raison d’être is the weaver must be related to the sheepherder. Authenticity is the weave.

Bakhtiari is a great example of the classic central medallion design which is considered to be a metaphor for a prosaic reality in the corners, layering to a deeper consciousness in the center. This fine Bakhtiari is from the town of Saman. Saman traditionally was the source of the finest Bakhtiari rugs and the area of the nobility. These days the appellation Saman simply means a finely knotted rug from anywhere in the Chahar Mahal. Saman can be found on google maps.
