The rug industry of this city is incredibly modern, producing quality that is extraordinary. Prices tend to reflect the high quality of materials, design and execution. Styles and patterns vary tremendously, as this city usually recreates ancient historical patterns from many other noble sources. Brilliantly detailed medallions, all-over patterns of the greatest intricacy, and breathtaking pictorials and hunting scenes, attest to the craftsmanship of Persia's finest master-weavers.
