Carpet and dyeing history:
The most exquisite and creative carpets in the world are woven in Iran. The art of carpet weaving in Iran is deeply intertwined with the culture and customs of the people of this land and originates from their instinctive feelings. Skilled Iranian carpet weavers combine amazing patterns with admirable colors, an art which is only expected from eminent painters. World art experts compare Iranian carpets with a pleasant garden full of colors, flowers, vegetables, birds and animals, and terrestrial and mythical creatures.
Carpet is a type of spread woven from cotton, wool and silk fibers that is traditionally used to cover the ground, however nowadays, due to its beautiful, enchanting and attractive patterns, it has found a decorative and luxurious aspect that attracts a lot of attention to itself.
Handmade carpet history in the world
All researchers believe that the carpet and rug weaving industry originated in Asia and that Turkestan, Iran and the Caucasus must have been the primary cradle of this art. From the expressions found in the Bible and classical literature, it has been concluded that the Eastern art of carpet weaving has been known for a long time before the birth of Christ. In fact, the history of carpets in the world seems to go back to the post-cave age. Humans at the time, tried to make mats for themselves, first by imitating birds with tree leaves and plant fibers. With the passage of time and the development of urbanization, softer materials such as animal skins and wool were replaced by dried foliage and after a while, humans were able to invent different methods for spinning and weaving, and this process has continued to this day and today, in Iran and all over the world, people have been able to design and produce soft and delicate, precious and valuable mats made of natural and synthetic fibers. Today, many of the patterns used for carpet weaving are still animal motifs and have their roots in the primitive cave age.
Persian Carpet:
Persian carpet has been used since ancient times; According to the Greek historian Xenophon says in his book Cyrus, between 430 and 345 BC: ” Iranians spread rugs under their beds to keep their beds soft.” The Sui Soo Chinese yearbook mentions Iranian woolen carpets as imported goods to China in the Sassanid period. The famous Baharestan carpet at Ctesiphon Palace has also been widely reflected in Islamic literature due to its splendor. Although the history of carpet weaving has been linked to Turkish art and Central Asian tribes, the discovery of the Pazyryk rug – the oldest example of a rug found in the world – painted with original Achaemenid motifs. And in the icy tomb of one of the Scythian rulers, somewhere about 80 kilometers from Mongolia, has been discovered, indicating that Iran has long been the cradle of carpet production.
During the Mongol domination (13th and 14th centuries) carpet weaving reached a very high level of beauty and craftsmanship. The flourishing of this industry may have coincided with the reign of Casanus (1307-1295). However, the peak of classical Iranian carpet, which is known as the Renaissance of Iranian carpet is considered to be along the time of the Safavid sultans (1799-1422) especially during the reign of Shah Tahmasp I (1524-1587) and Shah Abbas the Great (1587-1529). About 3,000 carpets from this period are preserved and kept in the world’s major museums or in private collections. During this period, carpet weaving workshops were built next to the king’s palaces, and we can witness the prosperity of this industry in different cities of Iran.
Nowadays, we see the prosperity of various types of carpets in different cities of Iran, each of which is known in the world with its own characteristics such as color, quality of equipment used and design, such as: Tabriz carpet, Hariz, Isfahan, Kāshān, Qom, Mashhad, Kerman , Turkman and…
Dyeing history
The existence of spinning wheels in the western region of Iran, Ilam, belonging to the fifth millennium BC, indicates the existence of weaving and some products. Weaving has emerged in this area about two thousand years ago. The relics of weaving and fabric texture can be traced in the areas under the influence of the Sumerians and Assyrians, and especially the dyed fabrics in Babylon. The discovery of copper rods, a kind of spinning tool in Tepe Hissar near Damghan, announces the constancy of spinning and weaving in Iran in the second millennium BC. With the revival of the culture of the Iranian tribes and the increase of the authority of the Medes and the tribes that were herdsmen and cattle breeders, the use of wool and animal fibers in that period can be well justified. The existence of Pazyryk carpet, which is a workshop carpet and is designed with a precise texture and structure, shows not only the existence of a large carpet weaving industry but also the existence of advanced textile industries. The colors used in this carpet, which is the most beautiful and harmonious, indicates the existence of dyeing centers, vegetable colors or common colors such as purple or Seashell, etc.
The English scientist Helkut, who lived in the sixteenth century, tells one of his fellow merchants: In Iran, you will see carpets of coarse wool with cotton threads on both sides. These carpets have the best and most beautiful colors.
In his travelogue, Chardin praises Kashan’s textile, velvet and silk products: The dyeing industry in Iran is more developed and progressed than in Europe since the colors of this country have more light and relative mass and do not fade very quickly, however the pride of this craft depends more on the characteristics of the weather and climate of that country than the art of Iranian industry
Because the dry and smooth environment of this land causes a special glow of colors.
