Ancient Iran Carpets
Persia is considered the area of origin of bored weaving. It is thought that the carpet arises from the need of nomadic tribes to "isolate" the floor of the tents in which they lived when they were nomads. Animal skins were used to cover the walls and protect themselves from the cold, while the carpet was used for the floor, thus making it not only warm, but also softer. Since the soil and surrounding environment on which the curtains stood was often colorless, the Persians weave colorful carpets. Westerners, on the other hand, prefer more sober and clear carpets because they better accord themselves to the wood of the furniture.Around 1400, perhaps thanks to commercial contacts with China, Persia abandoned the geometric decoration to adopt the floral one.
