This 16th-century Persian rug, housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, is a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship. Known as the "Chelsea Carpet," it features 738,700 Persian knots per square meter and a luxurious combination of silk and wool. Its intricate design includes medallions, blossoming trees, mythical creatures like phoenixes and dragons, and a serene central pool filled with fish. Sharing a stylistic connection with the famed Ardabil Carpet, it is considered one of the most beautiful rugs in the world, showcasing Persia's rich cultural legacy in carpet weaving.

For centuries, the dyes used were sourced exclusively from nature, including plants and animals. In some traditional villages, this age-old practice continues, preserving the legacy of natural dyeing.
