According to legend the ancient city of Tabriz in North East Iran was the site of the Garden of Eden. As that past faded into distant myth a new history as old as Rome swept in and still holds this biblical citadel in its thrall: the Great silk roads passed through here and the city became the centre of a flourishing trade in Persian carpets.

In an effort to reclaim the lost memories of Eden the Tabrizans concentrated on the beauty underfoot and even to this day the area is renowned for the excellence of its hand woven carpets. These carpets can fetch many thousands of pounds on the international markets and remain highly prized amongst collectors across the globe.
