Esfahan Rug

This time I want to introduce Esfahan carpet. Esfahan (Isfahan) is an ancient city in Iran. It is located in the centre of Iran. This city was the capital city of Iran around end of 16th century. Isfahan carpets are usually made of high quality of materials such as; soft wool, silk and cotton. The colours which used for Isfahan rugs are blue, rose and indigo motifs. These carpets have different sizes, but the common size is (4x6 to 8x10feet). Isfahan carpets are among the finest quality, therefore, they are amount the expensive carpets.

weaving

Weaving carpet
Most handmade carpets are woven from wool. The wool is spun, usually by hand, and then rinsed, washed and dried. It is then dyed to ensure an even colour throughout the rug. Traditionally, nomad carpet-weavers (usually women) used horizontal looms, which are lightweight trans portable. Iranian carpets consist of warp, weft, silk pile, wool, cotton or fuzz knotted with weft forming the flesh of carpets. In different parts of Iran, carpet makers created their own styles and schools. Techniques were sometimes different from tribe to tribe or city to city. http://www.destinationiran.com/ .Retrieved on 10,Sep.2008.

Iranian Carpet, Abbas Kiarostami episode
You Tube. (2008), Retrieved Sept 2, 2008 from =http://www.youtube.com/v/vZmD04YSqhc&hl=en&fs=1

This episode of Iranian carpet was created by Abbas Kiarostami. The language of this episode is Persian. I have chosen it from "YouTube" for people who know our language. I think it is a fantastic work of Kiarostami. In addition, it can accompany national Iranian music and the Persian language. Meanwhile, the viewer can enjoy the different designs of Persian carpets. A famous poem is woven in the carpet and the narrative of this poem is read for you.

My carpet

Hello everyone

Today I would like to show you one of my Iranian carpets which I have brought over from Iran. It is a Tabriz carpet called "MAHI". This means "Fish". The colour is dark brown. Mahi is the design. Because if you look at it, you can see a fish design inside of the carpet. Also you can see different colours in the carpet such as: light brown, red, beige and light cream. In the centre and the border of the carpet also used silk. This carpet is made from wool, cotton and silk. It is an expensive rug in Iran as well as in NZ.
