== History ==
+Najafabad is a city located near Isfahan in the Isfahan Province of central Iran. Najafabad carpets are known in the trade from the second quarter of the twentieth century. They are categorized as ISFAHAN carpets in the world market. Najafabad carpets are produced in large quantities and are mainly marketed as an inexpensive alternative to Isfahans in the domestic and foreign export markets. By the last quarter of the twentieth century, weaving quality changed in Najafabad, as in many other villages and cities in Iran. Some Isfahan manufacturers of silk foundation rugs came to establish looms in Najafabad weavers' homes to make carpets of a similar style and equal quality to fine Isfahan carpets.<ref> Moheban, 2015, p.420</ref>
