The '''Shahsavan''' are a wellknown tribal group within the Iranian population. They are primarily situated on the '''Moghan''' plateau of the '''Eastern Azerbaijan''' Province in northwestern Iran. Some have immigrated to the '''Hamadan''' Province of western Iran and to the '''Varamin''' area not far from the capital of Tehran in north central Iran. Shahsavan rugs from the Azerbaijan Province are known in the antique market from the early nineteenth century. They were recognized and became popular in the trade beginning in the 1970s.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.525</ref><br>
