Important Spring Sale presents Louis Gauffier

Few names in Persian carpet weaving command as much reverence as Seirafian. Originating in the historic city of Isfahan, the Seirafian family workshops have, since the early 20th century, defined the very notion of quality and refinement in contemporary Persian weaving. Founded by Haj Agha Reza Seirafian in the 1930s, the family established a tradition that would set the benchmark for precision of design, harmony of colour, and the exceptional finesse of knotting.

Seirafian carpets are celebrated for their use of the finest kork wool and pure silk highlights, often woven on silk foundations. Designs typically draw inspiration from the Safavid court carpets of the 16th and 17th centuries, reinterpreted through a modern artistic sensibility. The drawing is invariably crisp and balanced, with floral arabesques and medallion compositions executed with astonishing detail—often exceeding a million knots per square metre.
