Master Abdolrahim Shureshi was a master weaver who is regarded by many as one of the finest Isfahani rug weavers in the early 20th century.

Although his work remained unsigned, his artistic flare and fine attention to detail became trademark characteristics of his work before he passed away in 1930. His son, Abbas, was a skilled weaver and a master of traditional dyeing techniques who worked very closely with Haj Agha Reza Seirafian.
