Esfahan Rug
This time I want to introduce Esfahan carpet. Esfahan (Isfahan) is an ancient city in Iran. It is located in the centre of Iran. This city was the capital city of Iran around end of 16th century. Isfahan carpets are usually made of high quality of materials such as; soft wool, silk and cotton. The colours which used for Isfahan rugs are blue, rose and indigo motifs. These carpets have different sizes, but the common size is (4x6 to 8x10feet). Isfahan carpets are among the finest quality, therefore, they are amount the expensive carpets.

Esfasan Rugs! I hadn't realised it takes so long to weave- I can now appreciate why some of Persian rugs are so pricy cost. But it's worth it!- I'll have to save up and buy one. As I meantioned in a previous comment I have a Turkistan Rug but it's not nearly as beautiful as the Persian rugs. Thanks for the information.
Hi Audrey
As you mentioned, most Iranian carpets are expensive because of the good materials that are used, as well as the long time it takes for weaving.How about your carpet "Turkestan" I think you mean "Turkminestan". It is a ordinary carpet and it has worked for you for a long time but its cost never increased where-as other Iranian carpets increase every year.Good luck.
