The Late Master Sadegh Seirafian (1922–2005), one of the sons of Haj Agha Reza Seirafian, pursued this profession after his graduation from high school. Having considerable interest and the same dreams, he combined the dexterity of the skillful masters with his own innovative thoughts and began to produce carpets while he was also helping his father. Since then those unprecedented works marked as SADEGH SEIRAFIAN have attracted hundreds of the enthusiasts, artists and highly reputable collectors of the high quality hand woven rugs and carpets.
