19.01.2022 Modern period This section requires expansion. Persian Carpet at Louvre Museum... Although carpet production is now mostly mechanized, traditional hand woven carpets are still widely found all around the world, and usually have higher prices than their machine woven counterparts due to them being an artistic presentation. Iran exported $517 million worth of hand woven carpets in 2002. Irans carpet exports amounted to US$635 million in 2005, according to the figures from the state-owned Iran Carpet Company. Most are top-notch hand-woven products. In October 2007, National Iranian Carpet Center revealed that hand-woven carpets have ranked first in countrys non-oil exports and hold the third position among overall exports. Nearly five million workers are engaged in the Iranian carpet industry, making it one of the biggest enterprises in the country. In recent times Iranian carpets have come under fierce competition from other countries producing fakes of the original Iranian designs as well as genuine cheaper substitutes. Most of the problems facing this traditional art is due to absence of patenting and branding the products as well as reduced quality of raw materials in the local market and the consistent loss of original design patterns. The absence of modern R&D, is causing rapid decline in the size as well as market value of this art.[25] To give one example, the "Carpet of Wonder" in the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman measures 4,343 square meters. Its construction required four years of labor by 600 workers, resulting in 12 million man hours of work.[26] See more

18.01.2022 Handmade or Not? It is Time to TEST If you want to buy a valuable Persian Carpet, first of all, it must be handmade. Machine made rugs lacks originality, durability, charm and investment. In other words a machine-made rug is not a real oriental rug. They are simply for covering floors.While it took at least 8 months to years for a handmade carpet to be made, it is minutes for a machine rug.... Of course you can also use a Persian carpet for covering in order to feel the endless joy, appreciate in value and smell the authenticity.. In fact machine-made can cost initially less but you should also consider the investment opportunity when buying a one. For instance you may sell your carpet after years and be sure that you can make much more profit than you think, because oriental carpets especially Persian carpets and rugs gets more valuable after years just like wine...

14.01.2022 The world's most ancient carpet is preserved in the Hermitage Museum of Leningrad One of the most ancient carpets in the world was discovered in 1949 from a large coffin (sarcophagus) of an ancient Pars ruler (satrap) near his mummified body, by Prof. Rodlenko in the border of Moqolestan, a region called "Pazirik," under piles of ice. The age of the partially preserved carpet determined by carbon-dating showed that it was woven in the 5th century BC. The dimensions of this re...ctangular carpet was 9.3 ft. by 6.5 ft (2.83 by 2.00 meters), and the carpet has 36 symmetrical knots per cm. The advanced weaving technique employed in this carpet shows that the art of carpet weaving must be much older than the age of the carpet itself. Thus the "Pazirik" carpet is a result of a long period of evolution of the technique of carpet weaving, which perhaps extended back several thousand years from 5th century BC. Motifs used in this carpet such as a mythical winged creature, a yellow-spotted dear and a man mounted on a horse or standing near it, point to the Iranian origin of this carpet. The yellow spotted dear is a rare animal whose main habitat was near the shores of the Caspian Sea in the north of Iran. Archaeologists believe that the "Pazirik" carpet, which is preserved in the Hermitage Museum of Leningrad, is a product of the Archaemenid period of Iran. "Pazirik" Persian Carpet 500 years B.C. In the 5th century BC, the Archaeminian Court of Cyrus the Great at Pasargade was decked with magnificent carpets according to historical records.

09.01.2022 Zoroastrian period The Pazyryk Carpet, the oldest known surviving carpet in the world, 5th century BC. In a unique archaeological excavation in 1949, the exceptional Pazyryk carpet was discovered among the ices of Pazyryk Valley, in Altai Mountains in Siberia. The carpet was found in the grave of a Scythian prince. Radiocarbon testing indicated that the Pazyryk carpet was woven in the 5th century BC.[14] This carpet is 283 by 200 cm (approximately 9.3 by 6.5 ft) and has 36 s...ymmetrical knots per cm (232 per inch).[15] The advanced weaving technique used in the Pazyryk carpet indicates a long history of evolution and experience in this art. Pazyryk carpet is considered as the oldest carpet in the world.[16] Its central field is a deep red color and it has two wide borders, one depicting deer and the other Persian horseman. However, it is believed that the carpet from Pazyryk is not likely a nomadic product, but a product of the Achaemenid period.[17] Historical records show that the Achaemenian court of Cyrus the Great at Pasargade was decked with magnificent carpets. This was over 2,500 years ago, while Persia was still in a weak alliance with Alexander the Great, who would later betray her.[18] Alexander II of Macedonia is said to have been dazzled by the carpets in the tomb area of Cyrus the Great at Pasargade.[14] By the sixth century, Persian carpets of wool or silk were renowned in court circles throughout the region. The Bahrestn (spring) carpet of Khosrow I was made for the main audience hall of the Sassanid imperial Palace at Ctesiphon in the Sassanid province of Khvrvarn (in present-day Iraq). It was 450 feet (140 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide and depicted a formal garden. With the occupation of the Sassanid capital, Tuspawn, in the 7th century CE, the Baharestan carpet was taken by the Arabs, cut into small fragments and divided among the victorious soldiers as booty.[19] According to historians, the famous Tqdis throne was covered with 30 special carpets representing 30 days of a month and four other carpets representing the four seasons of a year.[ See more

04.01.2022 Islamic period This section requires expansion. From the yarn fiber to the colors, every part of the Persian carpet is traditionally hand-made from natural ingredients over the course of many months. This arduous process is shown in the Japanese/Iranian film The Wind Carpet.... In the 8th century A.D. Azarbaijan Province was among the largest centers of carpet and rough carpet (ziloo) weaving in Iran. The Province of Tabarestan, besides paying taxes, sent 600 carpets to the courts of caliphs in Baghdad every year. At that time, the main items exported from that region were carpets, and small carpets for saying prayers (also known as prayer mats). Furthermore, the carpets of Khorassan, Sistan and Bukhara, because of their prominent designs and motifs, were in high demand among purchasers.[1] During the reigns of the Seljuq and Ilkhanate dynasties, carpet weaving was still a booming business, so much so that a mosque built by Ghazan Khan in Tabriz, northwestern Iran, was covered with superb Persian carpets. Sheep were specially bred to produce fine wool for weaving carpets. Carpet designs depicted by miniature paintings belonging to the Timurid era lend proof to the development of this industry at that time. There is also another miniature painting of that time available which depicts the process of carpet weaving. During that era dyeing centers were set up next to carpet weaving looms. The industry began to thrive until the attack on Iran by the Mongol army.[1] The earliest surviving of the Persian carpets from this period is of a Safavid (15011736) carpet known as the Ardabil Carpet, currently in V&A Museum in London.[21] This most famous of Persian carpets has been the subject of endless copies ranging in size from small carpets to full scale carpets. There is an Ardabil at 10 Downing Street and even Hitler had an Ardabil in his office in Berlin.[22][23] The carpets are woven in 1539-40 according to the dated inscriptions. The foundation is of silk and the pile of wool with a knot density of 300-350 knots per square inch ( 465-542 thousand knots per square meters). The size of the carpets are 34 feet by 17 feet ( 10.5 meters 5.3 meters).[24] Los Angeles County Museum of Art See also Victoria & Albert Museum There is much variety among classical Persian carpets of the 16th and 17th century. There are numerous sub-regions that contribute distinctive designs to Persian carpets of this period such as Tabriz and Lavar Kerman. Common motifs include scrolling vine networks, arabesques, palmettes, cloud bands, medallions, and overlapping geometric compartments rather than animals and humans. Figural designs are particularly popular in the Iranian market and are not nearly as common in carpets exported to the west. See more
