Fun Historical Fact
Persian carpet makers have used floral medallion patterns for centuries, often drawing inspiration from traditional gardens and architectural ornamentation. Dark backgrounds provide a dramatic contrast that emphasizes intricate floral details. During the 1990's, Iranian workshops continued producing carpets inspired by established decorative traditions. Woven inscriptions sometimes identify a workshop, maker, or place of production, making them valuable details when researching a rug's history.
