Master Haj Agha Reza Seirafian(the founder of Seirafian Business Empire) and his seven sons are among the worlds best known Persian rug producers. Mohammad Seirafian, the second born son, is commemorated for creating the very first Seirafian carpets. It was produced in 1939 while their father was still actively running the private banking business. Mohammad Seirafian’s legendary rug designs include the Golo Bolbol and the Hunting Scene. He made these rugs in conjunction with Haj Mosavar, a man remembered in the whole of Isfahan for his gifts for painting and designing. The chief designer for the Seirafian workshop in those early days was the Late Ahmad Archang, also a legendary figure in history books. Mohammed Seirafian is unanimously agreed to be the grand master of the family, although the rest of the brothers did their part as well.
