The authenticity of the Persian carpet goes back about 2500 years. Iranians were among the pioneers of the ancient carpet weaving. Tracing the history of Iranian carpets is one of the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen.

Traditional Iranian carpets and hand-made carpets have been used for nomads in the past, using the tools needed for sewing and texturing Iranian carpets and hand-made carpets for their own purposes, such as cold and heat insulation in winter and summer and to prevent moisture. Beauty was also used. Persian carpets have also been used by kings and princes in ancient times as a symbol of wealth, power, prestige and distinction.

The earliest evidence of Persian carpets came from Chinese texts from the Sassanid period (641 – 224 AD). However, in Greek historiography there is written evidence of the existence, value and quality of Persian carpets.

The materials used in carpets, such as wool, silk, and cotton, are decayed after several hundred years. Therefore archaeologists are rarely able to find very useful discoveries during archaeological excavations of Iranian carpets.
