Antique Persian carpets and antique Persian Rugs are regarded as one of the highest levels of artistic sophistication accomplished by humankind; as such designers, artists and collectors covet these masterpieces. Today Persian carpets, both modern and antique, have found an ever expanding home within the art world.
The number of Antique Persian Carpets and Rugs will only decrease over time – one of the reasons why they are of such great value.
As Western influence expanded across the Middle East throughout the 20th century, primary cultures began to loose their autonomy. People’s abilities to sustain traditional crafting techniques faded and original motifs were slowly lost. The divide between antique carpets and all those that follow shows, over time, that the quality of these pieces diminished on all levels.
