The popularity of Persian carpets and rugs is due to a number of factors, including their exquisite patterns and designs.
Persian carpet patterns
Because they are available in such a wide variety of patterns and designs, Persian carpets are the most desirable and sought-after by people from all over the world. Due to the fact that carpets are woven in various regions of the country, their patterns and themes vary depending on their place of origin. In addition, the events that occured throughout the extraordinarily long history of Persian carpets had a significant impact on the carpets' patterns and designs as they evolved over time. Sergei Rudenko, a Russian historian and archaeologist, discovered the Pazyryk Carpet in 1945, making it one of the world's oldest carpets. It is believed that the Pazyryk Carpet is approximately 2400 years old. There are around 20 basic and essential patterns and designs used in Persian carpets, and many of these designs have numerous sub-designs. The Afshan pattern, which can be found on both hand-woven and machine-woven carpets, is recognized as one of the most significant and well-known Persian carpet designs. Today, major carpet manufacturers and cities throughout the country, including Kashan, Isfahan, Qom, Mashhad, Tabriz, and Nain, utilise this pattern in their work. 
Persian carpets patterns history
By closely researching Persian carpets over time, we can learn how patterns, materials, and shapes have changed and evolved throughout history. We want to show how Persian carpets have evolved over time through the use of diverse technologies, as well as how to use and maintain them. As previously established, the first carpet was woven between 300 and 400 AD by the Achaemenians. Pre-Islamic era patterns are the patterns and motifs that arose throughout this time period, and some of them are quite attractive. The majority of the Islamic era, notably when Timorese were in power, is an important period in Persian carpet design history. Following a lengthy conflict, King Shahrukh directed the finest carpet weavers to manufacture gorgeous carpets. Although no carpets from this era exist today, images of them can be found in some prestigious art galleries in prestigious locations. The Safavid era, during which carpet weaving grew rapidly throughout Iran, is regarded as the most important time in Persian carpet history. Shah Abbasi's designs, which are still frequently used today, are the most prominent pattern that has remained from this historical period. About 1500 carpets survive from this golden era, and the most significant feature of the era is that carpet weaving expanded from rural to urban regions, and the bulk of Persian carpets are now knotted by urban residents. The greatest changes occurred during the Qajar period, particularly during the reign of King Nasir Al-Deen, who exported and introduced Persian carpets to other nations, particularly Othman (Turkey). Modern carpet weaving employs a broad variety of patterns and motifs, and Persian carpets are extensively distributed around the world.
