How much does a persian carpet cost in Iran or Uzbekistan


How much does a persian carpet cost in Iran or Uzbekistan?
I live in Europe and a carpet shop in my city is selling all they have cos they're going to close.. an average quality carpet from south Iran, 220x125cm costs roughly 600dollars... Do you know how much does it cost when you live in Iran to buy a hand-made persian carpet? Thanks a lot! its 600dollars because they do -50% for all their carpets since they wanna to close.

I bought a 6 square meter hand made persian carpet, with silk flowers , TABRIZ, $600 from Iran 3 years ago but now it is $1100.

Well, it all depends on the city that you live in. One of the best brands of Persian carpet here is "Farshe setareye kavire yaz" it is made in Yazd - a city in the central part of Iran. It also depends on the type of the carpet. If you are talking about hand-made ones, sure, they are very expensive even in Iran. As a general rule, a 300x400cm factory-made carpet could start from $300 to $250, but again you should know that the design is also very important. The better the design, the more the price. The same size for a hand-made carpet would cost around $500 to $600, but like I said, it again depends on the design.

If you can take a photo and put the photo online if you are serious about this cause it can be different based on the type, sketch etc; a photo would make it much easier to guess the price. btw it seems fair if it is hand-made.

We are a carpet weaving Iranian family. We wove and sold a premium quality full silk 2.5x1.5 m carpet like ten years ago for $1100. So if you're looking for a high quality hand-woven carpet now (with this rate of inflation in Iran) you'll probably have to fork over something in the neighbourhood of 6-10 thou.
