A Persian Carpet for $100,000?! (Isfahan, Iran)

Did you know that IRAN is the world's largest producer and exporter of CARPETS, producing 3/4ths of the world's total output?!

And frankly, you cannot visit Iran without being completely immersed in the carpet scene. They are decorating almost every floor in all mosques, palaces, museums, hotels, restaurants, households and any other notable buldings. The come in all kinds of textures, designs, colors and styles -- and they add such a unique flavor to Iranian culture. I am really enjoying it!

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most well known carpet shops in Isfahan, Iran -- and little did I know how EXPENSIVE they can be! Well, not all of them (some are $70USD...) but I found one today that is worth $100,000 USD!! Can you believe that? One carpet for the price of a nice house in Iran!

Join me as I take you deeper inside the world of Persian rugs, and stay tuned for more to come from this amazing G Adventures trip of a lifetime :)

I never saw a carpet with pearls and gold. That carpet with the gold and the pearls was so beautiful.

As an afghan I really love Iranian carpet, they are the best in the world.

This is an expensive store. There are also cheap, affordable carpet stores, depending on your budget. Every iranian family has carpets at home.

I would love to visit it again soon

I am Arab, Lebanese specifically, and we have Persian carpets, really expensive though I don't remember exactly how much.. The quality is so good mashallah and the colors don't fade😉😉

Iran is a beautiful country.. It has an old history.. Iranian are also very beautiful 💙 💚..

[aviksarkar]

One of those carpets, under a clear blue sky.. what a life (ofcourse I’d be homeless after buying em)

[hamedshiyasi]

I am an Iranian boy and I have been weaving carpets with my mother since I was five years old

[amiramirani]

As an Iranian I'd say that carpet worth 100k. I've seen ones more expensive than that, which if you see won't believe worth that amount.
Sometimes a rug is expensive just because of the weaver. Famous weavers have their own signature on carpets, like painters, and collectors from all around the world pay for their carpets.

The $70, 000 rug is beautiful~I would not WALK ON IT

[sepehrasadi]

Best carpets in world are not cheap :)

[unetassedecafe]

This is exactly about the magic about Persian rugs the more you walk on the more they get precious they don’t get faded. We have nice and still colourful rugs from 100 years ago still more expensive than brand new ones.

I'm iranian and we have nice silk carpets in our house but that carpet with the pearls and gold... omg it was so unique. I think I fell in love.
Also, yes they maybe expensive but they are an investment and they can even get passed on to your kids.

[majidd]

Iran's carpets are so famous,
It's so amazing and wonderful.

When i was young and spilled stuff on our carpets I didn’t understand the anger and almost heart attack of my mom but then i got older 😂😂

[gauravupasani]

That carpet is one of the most beautiful carpets I've Ever seen
