Carpet
Carpet weaving is one of the authentic traditional arts of Iran, which dates back to more than two thousand years ago. According to archaeological documents, since the first millennium BC, Iranians used carpets such as felt, rugs, carpets, and jajim. The weavers of this original art have been mostly women working at home since the distant past; Although today, in some parts of Iran, men are also engaged in weaving carpets, and rugs along with women. In the traditional society of Iran, men mostly deal with things outside the home, and women are engaged in weaving traditional handlooms in addition to housework so that they can contribute to the family economy in addition to reflecting their hopes and dreams on the carpet.
The weaving style of Iranian carpets is closely related to the type of society that weaves it and it can be separated into three styles including urban, rural, and nomadic carpets.

Urban carpets can be recognized by the delicacy of the texture, rotating designs and motifs, various dimensions and sizes, especially large weaves, wide color ranges and influenced by the aesthetic principles of traditional Iranian classical art, but nomadic carpets, unlike urban carpets, have geometric and abstract patterns.
Happy, lively, and energetic colors created by nomadic weaving women using natural dyes, various dimensions, especially small sizes, and geometric patterns with bright colors that represent the beliefs, and aspirations of nomadic weaving women are the characteristics of handwoven nomad style carpets. Due to the abstractness of the patterns of nomadic carpets and the type of colors used in them, we can see a significant fit between them and contemporary interior decoration. Rural style carpets are something between urban and nomadic carpets in which traces of some features of both styles can be seen.
