Perisan Rugs as an Investment

Persian and Antique Rugs
The intricate designs and hours and hours of labor that go into Persian rugs have always been and will likely always be a linchpin of Iranian culture. Ancient and antique rugs like these are highly valued possessions and play an important role in Persian homes. Antique rug dealers are more busy than ever.
Looking at a carpet produced by these master weavers is looking back into a world of artistic development that is more than 2,000 years old. Iranians were some of the very first weavers of carpets in ancient civilizations. Centuries later, their ingenuity and innovation has reached new heights, an a world-class level of quality- the product of thousands of years of one of the greatest civilizations in history.
Owners of Persian rugs have expanded out from simple nomadic peoples to kings and noblemen, shahs and emperors, New Yorkers and Los Angelinos, people across the globe.
However, Persians have lifted carpet-owning to an art in and of itself. Many people in Iran now (and ex-ats in other places) have invested all of their assets in these carpets. In fact, they are often referred to as an Iranian’s shares and stocks. There are huge storage areas all over Tehran, bazaars brimming with fine pieces, wonderful investments for smart businessmen.
