Mojtaba(b. 1946), the oldest son of Mohammad Seirafian, started working in the rug business in the 1960s when he was still very young. He became one of the first third-generation Seirafian carpet producers. He learned from his father, Mohammad, who was one of the greatest carpet producers in the history of Isfahan. Mojtaba quickly gained the knowledge and skills to produce excellent carpets of his own. His works have a similar quality and style to his father's. In addition to classical medallion and pictorial designs, Mojtaba Seirafian has created and produced some stunningly vivid scenic landscape motifs. He has proven not only to be an excellent producer but also a very talented designer of carpets. His earlier works mostly only carry the classic Seirafian bottom signature with a plain white background. More recent productions have a light blue decoration in the background of the bottom signature, as well as a top signature with his full name in Persian and English letters. Mojtaba's son, Mehran Seirafian, holds a Ph.D. in Business and has also entered the carpet industry. Thanks to his extensive knowledge and understanding of his family's historical carpet production, he has successfully produced a number of beautiful and exceptional-quality Seirafian carpets. These carpets feature designs inspired by the works of his great-grandfather, Haj Agha Reza Seirafian. His limited-edition carpets are highly sought after by collectors for their exquisite artistry. Mehran Seirafian, the only son of Mojtaba and the first grandson of Mohammad Seirafian, continues the family legacy as the fourth generation of Seirafian carpet producers. He holds a PhD in Management and is dedicated to producing fine carpets that reflect the artistry and craftsmanship of his forebears, ensuring that the family’s rich tradition endures.
