Tapestry is a famous handicraft of Iranian and an important carrier of Iranian national culture. It has always enjoyed a high reputation in the world. It has excellent craftsmanship, exquisite material selection, clever color matching, novel and unique patterns, and can be preserved for a long time without fading, and is deeply loved by the world.
Iranian tapestries are generally woven from a mixture of fine wool and silk. Wool is the main material for braiding Persian blankets. The cool climate in the pastoral area of Iran makes the local wool fiber soft and long. The tapestry woven with this wool braid feels delicate and is silky and soft to the touch.
Silk is also a more commonly used material in Persian tapestries. It can make the blanket surface softer and have a shiny feel, and is usually used to emphasize the key design and theme elements of the pattern in the tapestries.
Iranian tapestries are made by hand knitting, hand spinning and hand knotting. The average production cycle of each tapestries is more than six months.
An important factor that determines the beauty of tapestries is the matching of colors. The dyes of Iranian tapestries are derived from natural plants, such as the light yellow color of pomegranate peel and the reddish brown color of walnut peel. Although natural dyes are difficult to make and costly, they ensure that the color of the tapestries is vivid, unique and natural, and not easy to fade. The color will still be as bright as new after a hundred years. At the same time, the more colors used on a tapestry, the higher the skills requirements for the weaver, the more complex the weaving process, and the higher the value of the tapestry.
The Iranian tapestries after the finished product are as bright as oil paintings. Because they use silk and concave weaving techniques, they are very three-dimensional and realistic. Since it is purely handmade, the collection value is also very high. Today, many palaces, art galleries and art galleries in the world collect Iranian tapestries as treasures.
Using Iranian tapestries as wall decoration is a very clever way to convey the owner's artistic aesthetics. They can not only transform bare, dull and boring walls into interesting spaces full of colors and textures, but also attract the attention of visitors as soon as possible and add a unique exotic style to the room.
So how to use Iranian tapestries to decorate a room? Currently we recommend the following two methods:
. Use an roman pole to wear the tapestries like curtains. Since the weight can fall evenly on the roman pole, it can prevent the tapestries from warping and help maintain their shape.
. Customize a photo frame to frame the tapestries, fix them on the wall with nails or place them on the desktop.
Where to place your Iranian tapestries?
Of course there is no limit on which room to place the tapestries, but some places will obviously be more suitable than others, such as:

When using Iranian tapestries as wall decoration, the following points need to be paid special attention to :
• After deciding on the hanging position, you must first measure the available space, and then find a tapestries suitable for the space. Otherwise, too large or too small will destroy the overall decorative effect.
• Do not nail the tapestry directly to the wall, as this will cause irreparable damage to the tapestry fibers. Also if the tapestries are too heavy, the fibers will be pulled down and eventually tear them apart.
• Avoid hanging tapestries on walls that are exposed to direct sunlight for a long time.This direct exposure to the sun causes it to fade, affecting its appearance and value.
• Avoid hanging tapestries too close to the heat source, such as above a fireplace, which can make the fibers on the blanket brittle and easily break.
purely hand-woven Iranian tapestries represent the highest level of Iran's hand-woven skills. As weavers decrease year by year, the number of such products is getting smaller and smaller. The following are some of the fine tapestries collected by Tianjiang. Each one is imported from Iran. Whether hung from home or studio, it can inject an artistic atmosphere into the space.
