Safavid ruling dynasty may be considered as a founder of the social government which caused the establishments and social, political, economic and religious offices were active under the protection of a relatively centralized administrative structure. They had already no any formal position in governments and courts. In this period, appropriate cultural policy-makings and relative security of cities and villages provided necessary bases in order to thrive many arts and techniques. Carpet weaving was one of these most significant arts. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the various aspects of the importance of carpets for the Safavid court and, consequently, to identify the different types of relationship between the central government and the production of this product. The research uses a historic approach and an analytic-descriptive method. To achieve the purpose of the research, in addition to valid historical and research sources, samples of carpets of that period have also been studied.
In the process of conducting this research, the importance of the activities related to the production and supply of carpets and the reasons for supervising them were examined from four aspects: religious and social, commercial, tax and artistic income.. Then, a direct and indirect role of the officials like Bashi and Moshrif became clear in this process. Furthermore, by studying remained documents, it is possible to reconstruct the existence of professional relations between artists active in the field of writing and book decoration with the society that produces court carpets.
