Isfahan, once the capital city of Shah Abbas in 1595 considered to be one of the most magical cities in Iran with its magnificent mosques and architecture that has been the inspiration for many carpet designs in both floral and geometric designs. Isfahan carpets made from fine wool and silk generally woven onto silk warps and weft threads are considered to be among the finest and most durable Persian rugs, where the artist designers and weavers reflect their initiative and their art on to a carpet. The best known manufactures are Seirafian, Haghighi and Shoreshi.
