iFilm+ presents: Persian art of brocade weaving

In its latest edition, iFilm+ has put the spotlight on the art of brocade weaving.

Brocade weaving in the Iranian textile industry involves using silk and braid yarn to create valuable and beautiful fabrics.

Silk thread covered in gold and silver is woven together, giving the fabric a special brilliance.

This type of weaving, characterized by intricate designs, dates back to the Sassanid era.

Over time, Islamic influences intertwined with traditional designs, incorporating Kufic calligraphy into the margins of brocaded fabrics during the Seljuk era.

The Safavid era marked the peak of brocade weaving, producing fabrics with vibrant designs such as animals, birds, plants, and arabesque patterns.

These fabrics were primarily used for aristocratic garments, often gifted to nobles in other countries as a symbol of prestige.

Local women in Iran's Hormozgan Province engage in the art of creating beautiful designs as a means of generating income.

Stay tuned to iFilm+ for more explorations.
