Designs, motifs, and patterns
Persian rugs are made up of a layout and a design which in general
included one or a number of motifs. The Iran Carpet Company, a
specialist in the subject, has attempted to classify Persian carpet
designs and has carried out studies of thousands of rugs.Their results show that there have been slight alterations and
improvements to almost all original designs. In its classification the
company has called the original designs as the 'main pattern' and the
derivatives as the 'sub patterns'. They have identified 19 groups,
including: historic monuments and Islamic buildings, Shah Abbassi
patterns, spiral patterns, all-over patterns, derivative patterns,
interconnected patterns, paisley patterns, tree patterns, Turkoman
patterns, hunting ground patterns, panel patterns, European flower
patterns, vase patterns, intertwined fish patterns, Mehrab patterns,
striped patterns, geometric patterns, tribal patterns, and composites.
my Persian carpet was made up of Shah Abbassi and spiral arabesque patterns.
