subject: Origin of Persian or Iranian carpets [print this page] The price of Iranian carpets is because of some factors. The first factor is that these carpets are hand woven. It takes lot of time to make a carpet. Many families make these carpets and earn their livings. They are only able to make 2-3 carpets in a whole year, when all of the family members are contributing in the process. This increases the price of these carpets. The second reason is that these carpets are only made by the Iranian people. No other country is making these carpets. For this reason the demand is really high and the price cannot be lowered. The third reason is the popularity of Persian carpets. These carpets are of high quality and have a longer life than other varieties of carpets. That's why people like to buy these carpets to decorate their homes and offices and are willing to pay higher prices.
