Through out history Persia has remained the epicentre of the carpet making craft, where it has developed into an art form. A gradual increase in Persian carpets started to emerge around this period and as trade links between Britain and the Persian Safavid Empire developed more Persian rugs entered Britain. Following the establishment of the Silk Route which connected Persia to Britain via the Silk Road, a predominance of Persian rugs and carpets found their way into Britain. With the expansion of the middle classes in the 17th to 19th century oriental rugs prospered as luxury items which trigged the production of rugs for the western market across the Caucasus, Anatolian, India and China.

Silk carpets and silk rugs date back to at least the sixteenth century in Sabzavar and the Seventeenth century in Kashan and Yazd. Silk carpets are less common than wool carpets since silk is more expensive and less durable; they tend to increase in value with age. Due to their rarity and value, silk carpets are often displayed on the wall like tapestries aswell as being used as floor coverings. Silk rugs and carpets can be the most valuable of the handmade oriental rugs
