This study was conducted with the aim of designing an objective classification system for authentic Iranian carpets. The research findings provide a basis for developing a global carpet classification system, which could lead to the establishment of a quantitative valuation index and an integrated certification system. In this regard, a comprehensive database of 99 museum carpet samples was collected, containing 12 parameters related to structure, design, and raw materials. To achieve these objectives, K-means clustering algorithm with Euclidean distance and k=3 was employed based on the elbow method, and the samples were divided into three homogeneous clusters based on knot density, material composition, and pile material. The main innovation of this research lies in converting traditional and subjective criteria into objective indices, enabling direct comparison of new carpets with historical samples. This system not only increases valuation accuracy but can also lead to pricing transparency, development of global markets, greater buyer confidence, the possibility for buyers to purchase according to their taste and interest in carpets from a specific region, and providing a basis for trust in sellers' opinions.
