The Tehran Carpet Museum has a wealth of beautiful carpets and includes this piece which is a reproduction of the oldest known knotted carpet in the world. The original was excavated in Siberia in 1949 and now resides in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. Radiocarbon dating places the carpet to the 5th century BCE, making it a work of the Achaemenid period. Based on the advanced design of this piece, carpet making may be as old as 3500 years in Iran.

Tijdens de census van 2006 had de stad Teheran 7.797.520 inwoners. Tezamen met de voorsteden wordt in het stedelijk gebied een inwoneraantal van ruim 13 miljoen geschat.
The oldest of the historic monuments in Tehran, the Golestan Palace (Palace of Flowers) belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehran’s Historic Arg (citadel).
The Arg was built during the reign of Tahmasb I (r. 1524-1576) of the Safavid dynasty (1502-1736), and was later renovated by Karim Khan Zand (r. 1750-1779). Agha Mohamd Khan Qajar (1742-1797) chose Tehran as his capital. The Arg became the site of the Qajar (1794-1925).Court and Golestan Palace became the official residence of the royal family.
During the Pahlavi era (1925-1979) Golestan Palace was used for formal royal receptions. The most important ceremonies to be held in the Palace during the Pahlavi era were the coronation of Reza Khan (r. 1925-1941) in Takht-e Marmar and the coronation of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi (r. 1941-deposed 1979) in the Museum Hall.
In its present state, Golestan Palace is the result of roughly 400 years construction and renovations. The buildings at the contemporary location each have a unique history.
