The 12-day exhibit features works made in various Iranian cities and towns including Tabriz, Qom, Isfahan, Naeen, Ardabil, Khoy, Kerman, Kashan, and Sirjan.
The exhibit is also showcasing rugs and kilim carpets knitted by tribal people of Iran.
According to the organizers, the event is aimed to encourage Iranian arts, culture, and domestic production.
Iran’s hand-woven carpets have worldwide fame for their delicate designs and good quality.
The most characteristic feature of all types of Persian rugs is believed to be a medallion pattern where it may represent an open lotus blossom with several petals.
The collaborative exhibition of handmade carpets and tableau rugs will be running through May 13.
