Among the wealth of arcane symbols, aesthetic abstractions of nature, and inherited motifs whose significances are often lost in time, stylised motifs inspired by the weavers’ own observations add a less mysterious yet deeply interesting layer to their creations.

This is where mystery, history, and artistry meet and converge into amazing nomadic rugs like this Qashqai, whose creators pass by the ruins of Persepolis during their seasonal migrations and reflect the astonishing columns of a palace from within which Persian Kings of the Kings, like Cyrus the Great, ruled the world for a substantial time from 500 BC, a palace that still inspires the minds and rules the hearts of the Persians.
