Carpet

Concept

A carpet is a textile floor covering consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile is generally either made from wool or fibers such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester and usually consists of twisted tufts which are often heat-treated to maintain their structure. The term “carpet” is often used interchangeably with the term “rug”

History

The knotted pile carpet probably originated in the 3rd or 2nd millennium BC in West Asia, perhaps the Caspian Sea area (Northern Iran) [12] or the Eastern Anatolia,[13] although there is evidence of goats and sheep being sheared for wool and hair which was spun and woven as far back at the 7th millennium.The earliest surviving pile carpet is the “Pazyryk carpet”

Persian Carpet

The Persian carpet is a part of Persian (Iranian) art and culture. Carpet-weaving in Persia dates back to the Bronze Age. The earliest surviving corpus of Persian carpets come from the Safavid dynasty (1501–1736) in the 16th century. However, painted depictions prove a longer history of production. There is much variety among classical Persian carpets of the 16th and 17th century.
