Not only because they provide human with a good source of food and clothing, but also since they had always special sanctity among Iranians as a symbol for making wishes, praying for water, productivity, fertility as well as protective angel. That is why its images have been used in a variety of ways such as images used on potteries, mental works, stamps, cave paintings and hand-woven works in people’s lives throughout history. Ibex’s motif is one of the most important images used in Kermanshah’s felts. This ancient motif is considered as the main characteristic of this area’s felts and makes it different from other felts. In this paper, the authors have conducted a study on the ibex’s motif on Kermanshah’s felts to answer that questions that "What are the types of this motinf on the mentiond felts?" and "What are their concepts?" The main purpose of this paper is to conduct a study on the concepts of ibex’s motif in the Kermanshah’s felts and provide a typology of this motif on Kermanshah’s felts. A descriptive-analytic approach and field study-library based data collection were the research methods used in the present study. The most important result obtained from this study is that the Ibex’s motifs on Kermanshah’s felts have a deep relationship with the notions of water and the tree-of-life, because of the semantic relationships of them in mythology.}, Keywords = {Felt, Kermanshah, Ibex motif}, volume = {10}, Number = {25}, pages = {5-28}, publisher = {Iran Carpet Scientific Association}, url = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-499-en.html}, eprint = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-499-en.pdf}, journal = {goljaam, Scientific Journal of Handmade Carpet}, issn = {2008-2738}, eissn = {2588-7351}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {Talebpour, Farideh and Veysian, Mohamm}, title = {Dyeing Woolen Pile Yarn Using Saffron Petals: Impact of Different Mordents and Acids}, abstract ={This research work involves the dyeing of wool yarns with saffron petals as a source for green color. At first step woolen pile yarns treated with four different mordents, namely: tin chloride, copper sulfate, aluminum sulfate and iron(II) sulfate in acidic condition using acetic, oxalic, citric and lactic acids respectively. In this study the possibility of using saffron petals as a natural dye for wool yarn was investigated. By using different mordents a range of hues from green to yellow and brown was obtained. Color parameters, washing fastness, rubbing fastness (wet & dry) and light fastnesses of the dyed yarns were measured. It can be concluded that the best mordents for dyeing wool yarn with saffron petal to obtain green color are tin chloride and aluminum sulfate. The results of fastness tests of samples treated with tin chloride are poorer so that the best suggested mordent for dyeing wool with saffron to get green color is aluminum sulfate.}, Keywords = {Wool, Saffron petals, Mordents, Acids, Pre-mordant}, volume = {10}, Number = {25}, pages = {29-46}, publisher = {Iran Carpet Scientific Association}, url = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-500-en.html}, eprint = {http://goljaam.icsa.ir/article-1-500-en.pdf}, journal = {goljaam, Scientific Journal of Handmade Carpet}, issn = {2008-2738}, eissn = {2588-7351}, year = {2014} } @article{ author = {Hasangholipour, Tahmoures and AbbasiBani, Fatemeh and AbbasiBani, Saee}, title = {Derivation of Persian Carpet Brand Model in Export Markets}, abstract ={This paper discusses how branding process of Persian carpet in the U.S. market does work and finally a model based on the performance of Persian carpet exporters has been derived. The population for this study consisted of Iranian exporters; about 130 exporters participated in this survey. A questionnaire including 59 questions was used to collect data and finally the data was analyzed using LISREL and the conceptual model was derived. The results show that Iranian exporters believe that they have control over the international branding activities in the U.S. Market; this has improved their level of brand orientation and international commitment to market development. The Persian carpet exporters view themselves as committed to the needs and requirements of the United States market and they perceive themselves totally brand oriented. In the Iranian exporters' opinion, marketing strategies used in the U.S. market, are working properly and these exporters are satisfied with the results of Persian carpet brand's financial performance in this segment.

Mehrabi carpets of the Golden Age of Persian carpet-waving arts, Safavid era, can br regarded as the flagship model in the manifestations of this art. These carpets often were woven with religious functions and to fulfill religious obligations. Koranic pictographs and Asma’al Hosna along with plant and geometric motifs have covered the context of this carpets. In this study, the expression of epiphany concept and position of Asma’al Hosna in Islamic art are discussed due to analysis of six samples of the Safavid Mehrabi carpets for emphasizing the epiphany of God in this hand-woven carpets. Our findings suggest that: (i) The various manifestations of the divines epiphany are hidden on Mehrabi carpets; and (ii) The calligraphies used in the Safavid carpets contain mystical and Koranic concepts for better approach of worshipers towards God.
