IRANSAGA - PERSIAN CARPETS, NAIN
 NAIN CARPETS Nain is a small town in the province of Isfahan, and it is situated on the edge of the desert uplands of central Iran. Until the beginning of this century, the main craft in Nain was the weaving of costly woollen cloth. The import of textiles from the west lead to the decline of this craft, and the Nain craftsmen switched to carpet making. They were soon to gain a place among the quality carpet producers of Iran. The decoration of Nain carpets is similar to that used for Isfahans, ... - http://www.artarena.force9.co.uk/nainc.htm 26/09/2004 - Category: Persian - More from this publisher

IRANSAGA - PERSIAN CARPETS, A BRIEF HISTORY
 Persian Carpets A Brief History With Samples and Descriptions Carpets were probably first made by nomadic peoples to cover the earthen floor in their tents. It is not certain however, if the Egyptians, the Chinese, or even the Mayas first invented carpet making.

An Ancient Carpet in Urumchi by Chris Walter The Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Museum in Urumchi, capital of Xinjiang Region of China, formerly known as East Turkestan, holds an extremely rich collection of apparently very old carpets and other textiles.
