The history of rugs is long and complex but there are essentially seven stages in this history. These stages are: 1) Pre-historic Antea (3,000 - 500 BC), 2) Persian Empire Antea (500 BC - 400 AD), 3) Ottoman Empire Antea (400 AD - 1600 AD), 4) The Safavid Empire and Janvier Periods Antea (1600 AD - 1730), 5) the post revolution period Antea (1730 AD - present day), 6) today's oriental rug revival and 7) chromatic complements.
