Teheran
Teheran (Tehran) refers to carpets associated with the capital city of Iran, though it has historically been more important as a commercial and distribution center rather than a major weaving location.
Carpets labeled as Teheran may reflect styles from various Persian regions and were often traded through the city.
Carpet weaving in Teheran, the capital city of Iran, seems to have prospered only in the late 19 Century, with the revival of the carpet weaving in Persia.
The designs were based on floral and medallion themes, often with silk flowers. The general appearance and style resemble the Isfahan rugs of the era.
