ISFAHAN rugs and carpets are very symmetrical and balanced and usually have a single medallion surrounded with whorls (vines) and palmettos.
During the Arsacid (Parthian) Dynasty, Isfahan was the capital city of a wide province that was administered by Arsacid governors.
After the Islamic period, Isfahan, like other cities of IRAN, was under the domination of Arabs till the early 4th century AH (10th century CE), and received little attention, with the exception of the interest of Caliph Mansour.
The first evidence of a bazaar in Isfahan is based on "Hamze Isfahani", who wrote that in the bazaar of the city, which is closed to Yahoudiye[22] there are some squares for businessmen, craftsmen and workers.
The Bazaar of Isfahan consisted of two parts, the old section, which started from the old square, close to the Friday mosque, and the new section, which started from Naghsh-e-Jahan square[26] and connected to the old section.
Yahoudiye was the settlement of the Jewish in Isfahan.
