The Iranian population consists of several cultures, and every culture has its own tradition and art. The design of each nation varies, and through out the centuries the elements of designs, including techniques have become more stylized, symbolic and sophisticated.

The Carpet designs embody the historical events of the centuries. Every carpet has the story of its own weaver, and carries the culture of the region.
