Timeless Tapestries: The Enduring Art of Ancient Ornamentation

Textiles, including brocades, velvets, and silks, also showcase the exquisite artistry of Iranian "naqsh o negar." Elaborate patterns, often incorporating metallic threads, transformed simple fabrics into luxurious garments and furnishings. These designs frequently featured stylized floral motifs, intricate arabesques, and sometimes even miniature figural representations. The skill of Iranian weavers and embroiderers allowed for the creation of textiles that were highly sought after across trade routes, demonstrating the wide appeal and influence of Iranian artistic expression.
