Hi Folks,

I think the following list of towns in Iran will help to identify a Persian Rug when you see one. So Next time you hear a name you'll know what and where it was made. I like to do this in alphabetic order so it could be used  as a source. So here we go identifying most towns in Iran that produces genuine Persian Rug.

All these cities also have sub groups or surrounding towns that produce Persian Carpets. There are too many to name. Among these cities and towns there are neighborhoods that produce Hand Woven Rugs. Some of them are more popular than the others but this unfortunately hasn't been know in the western market. Prices of these Hand Knotted Carpets vary from one neighborhood to another. Thank You for looking at my site. I'll be writhing more on this subject in my future blogs. I'll try to talk about every one of these areas of Rug Weaving of Iran.
