Persian carpets are already on sale - Luxury category
Persia, the ancient Persian name for Iran, boasts a superior culture in carpet production. The art of weaving was passed down from generation to generation and was considered the most valuable family treasure.
Carpets produced in the country are often named after the area where they are made, such as Kashan, Isfahan, Mashhad, Shiraz, Kerman and Tabriz.
Rugs can also be named after different ethnic groups, or after their native Farsi language, which has a rich literary tradition that dates back centuries.Iran is one of the largest countries in the Middle East and stretches as a bridge between East and West. Today Iran produces more carpets than all other carpet-making centers combined. For many people in the West, oriental rugs are synonymous with Persian rugs. This is, of course, not correct, but the error is understandable given the influence of Persian carpet production around the world. Swedish writer Knut Larson says in his book about oriental carpets: “The Persians carefully preserve their carpet culture. Their art of weaving carpets is the best in the world.”
The Persian carpet is known as one of the oldest oriental carpets. According to many collectors, these rugs are the finest oriental rugs. One of the exciting aspects is that you can read a Persian rug by its pattern. The history, religion, superstitions, and traditions of an entire people are recorded in carpet designs. And the meanings of the symbols depicted may influence your choice.
More than four thousand types of carpets are produced in Iran. Most of them have relative designs: curves or straight lines, flowers, animals and birds in various colors.
Of course, some patterns are just decoration, but there are also those that are considered talismans and can bring happiness, joy and love to your home.
Perhaps the most famous Persian rug design is the prayer arch, which is used on all prayer rugs. The tree of life on Persian carpets represents eternal life. This design is mainly popular in Persia, especially in the cities of Isfahan, Qom and Tabriz, where they produce amazingly realistic trees.
A garden with a medallion in the center and a flowering forest around it is a garden of Eden.
The center point of the medallion also represents the eye - the all-seeing deity. The design is said to be based on the lotus flower, which grows with its roots in the mud and its flower facing the sky.
Paisley or so-called paisley design. The Persians considered it to be a pattern of dwarf palm leaves, which were used instead of paper for writing prayers, so they are given special meaning.
