Looms Of Persia

Akhavan Farshchi was founded in 1890 by Mohammad Ebrahim Akhavan Farshchi in Tehran, Iran. He quickly gained a reputation for selling rugs of the highest standards. In 1950, Ahmad, son of the founder, took over the company and in order to expand the family business, he began to export rugs to the Free Port of Hamburg. A growing demand for rugs resulted in the company's steady expansion. In 2001, the company formed its subsidiary, Looms of Persia, in New York to serve the large rug market in North America. The company remains a family business and is now in its 3rd generation with Nooshin and Ebrahim working in sales and marketing.
