Bofandeh 

An online resource celebrating the art of weaving Persian* rugs.

Bofandeh (pronounced   ball – fan – den) means “weaver” in Farsi which is the language of Iran. On this page, you will find everything you need to know how a Persian rug (made in Iran) is woven. My goal is to reach as many people as I can to help them discover the workmanship, beauty, imagination, and creativity of this ancient artform as its been created by Iranian weavers. I aspire to pay respect to all weavers, past, present, and in the future.
