Handicrafts Tehran Iran
Tehran’s handicrafts have prospered since Qajar rule, when Tehran was elected as the capital of Iran. The good conditions of the labor market and the level of social welfare of Tehran in relation to other cities have attracted the attention of many artists from different parts of Iran to the capital.
Nowadays Tehran handicrafts are mostly produced as workshops and have a good market both inside and outside the country, which is an incentive for artists in this area.
