The compilation of subject matter and data used in this article are extracted from library and recorded materials based on historical and pictorial sources to show changes in Kelardasht carpet within the past 100 years. Furthermore interviewing with masters in museums and bazaar was also used in accomplishing this article, and at the end data and pictures were compared to study the design and patterns of Kelardasht carpet in order to classify the patterns and motifs of these subjective and mental-woven carpets. Study of variations of patterns, motifs and colors in Kelardasht carpet shows that most of the patterns have been forgotten in the course of time and are not used any more. Then because this carpet is not a commercial one, difficult access to the area and entering poor patterns, this carpet was undermined or even defeated. It seems that the usage of old and original colors, original patterns and motifs and introducing genuineness and employed concepts in this kind of carpet to young people and buyers are important factors for the revival of Kelardasht carpets.
