@ARTICLE{Ahmadi, author = {Ahmadi, Parvin and Izadi Jeyran, Asgar and }, title = { History of Carpet Weaving in “Josheghan-e-Ghali”}, volume = {7}, number = {19}, abstract ={“Josheghan-e-Ghali” is located in Isfahan Province near Kashan County, and it has some economic communication with this two cities. Carpet weaving has been common in this area since Safavid era and the products have been exported. In spite of a rich artistic history, this region has been rarely studied. This paper is the first survey about history of carpet weaving in “Josheghan” and the theories about it. The information of carpet weaving in this area will be forgotten, so library research and field method have been used for collecting related data. In Safavid era various carpet designs were weaved in this region but in Qajar era and after that, designs had reduced and some special features had been appeared in the products. It seems that the theory of “Pope” regarding the derivation of contemporary “Josheghan” design from Safavid vase carpet is reasonable. By the way no decisive theory can be expressed in this regard. }, URL = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-460-en.html}, eprint = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-460-en.pdf}, journal = {Iranian Journal of hand woven carpet}, doi = {}, year = {2011} }
