Boston

Boston is a city in the northeastern United States, capital of Massachusetts. Its museums hold Persian carpets from the classical period of Safavid weaving. The site mentions it, alongside Vienna and Milan, as a home of the finest carpets produced in the royal workshops of Shah Abbas I, a legacy of the Safavid Empire's artistic patronage.
