Khoy Rug History

Khoy is an old city in West Azerbaijan Province, northwest of Tehran. Due to its geographical location on the Silk Road, this city provided the opportunity for the exchange of goods. Initially, Khoy rugs were marketed as Tabriz rugs and were not of good quality. In the late 20th century, with the increase in global demand, the quality of Khoy area rugs also increased and they were even in demand in foreign markets.

Khoy is the most important carpet weaving hub in this province. The Khoy fish pattern, which has been woven for about 30 years, has also been registered worldwide. This pattern covers 80 percent of the production of Khoy rugs. More than 60,000 square meters of Khoy carpets with the fish pattern are produced and supplied to and from the country annually.
