Samovar culture has an analog in [[Iran]] and is maintained by expatriates around the world. In Iran, samovars have been used for at least two centuries (roughly since the era of close political and ethnic contact between [[Russia-Iran relations|Russia and Iran]] started), and electrical, oil-burning or natural gas-consuming samovars are still common. Samovar is ''samăvar'' in [[Persian language|Persian]]. Iranian craftsmen used [[Persian art]] motifs in their samovar production. The Iranian city of [[Borujerd]] has been the main centre of samovar production and a few workshops still produce hand-made samovars. Borujerd's samovars are often made with [[Nickel silver|German silver]], in keeping with the famous [[Varsho-Sazi]] artistic style. The art samovars of Borujerd are often displayed in Iranian and Western museums as illustrations of Iranian art and handicraft.<ref name="Bandehy2016">{{cite book|last=Bandehy|first=Lily|title=Tasteful memories of Persia|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=09PgCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA170|access-date=16 June 2016|year=2016|publisher=EBN SelfPublishing|isbn=978-82-92527-26-9|page=170}}</ref>
