Carpet and Kilim Weaving in Hamedan Province Iran
carpet weaving:
Carpet weaving is well-known throughout the country for its durability, but carpet weaving in the province does not seem to have a long history. Only one documentary can be helped to talk about it.
The carpet book is from Iran and wrote: The carpet weaving industry in Hamadan has advanced in the last century. There is no evidence that this profession existed before 1912 in the region of 1291 AH.
Undoubtedly, when I first visited this city in 1912, there was not even a carpet weaving machine in the city. In 1912, eight carpet weaving machines were installed in a house rented for this purpose and thus the first carpet weaving workshop in Hamadan began. The importance of carpet weaving in Hamadan province is that The product of cheap and medium carpets is more than other areas of carpet weaving.
The carpet designs used in Hamadan for texture, besides the few that Hamedan designers designed, often belonged to other cities and Hamedan itself had a specific map.
Common maps used by Hamedan carpets were: Khatam Shirazi, Isfahan, Juzan, Torpedo, Sets of honey, hunting, fish, etc. The fish map is the most woven of all designs, however, one of Hamadan’s most famous and famous handicrafts has been carpet weaving from ancient times. The type of sex, resistance and rank in Iran is third.
One of the types of carpets woven in Hamadan is a well known type of fine woven fabric that is woven in sizes and other sizes such as: side, quilted, quartz, vault, dorsal, rostri and prostrate. Hamadan is woven and marketed.
The most woven designs in Hamadan are the fish and bergamot designs, which in the past used a variety of lighter and lighter colors to extract from the sap of the plants and dye the wool to give the texture of these carpets, which they used as carpets of fixed colors. It is said that and as it gets older, its color will be polished and beautiful
But nowadays, some use chemicals and tannins, which change the color of the carpets after the texture and their original color disappears.
In terms of sales market, the carpets that are widely bought inside Hamadan are quartz and quartz but other sizes like carpets, sides, backs and cushions are not very popular in the market and the customer is less.
kilim weaving :
In the past, most of the villages in Hamadan had a special boom, some of which are still being used in residential homes. But with the advent of automotive products and foreigners, as well as more people’s tendency to live in the city, few kilim weaving machines and Jajim weaving machines were collected, and even some kilim weavers have become self-consuming machine products.
