Taʼs̱īr-i ṭarḥ va naqsh-i farsh-i dawrah-i Qājār dar ṣādirāt

This scholarly work by Hudá Bārūnī Ibrāhīmī, developed under the supervision of Mihrān Hūshyār, provides an in-depth analysis of the carpet industry in Īrān during the pivotal Qājār era. The text investigates how specific adaptations in design and pattern—driven by both domestic innovation and foreign market demands—transformed Persian carpets into a strategic export commodity. Bārūnī Ibrāhīmī details the shift from local rural production to large-scale manufacturing, highlighting the influence of European companies and the introduction of motifs like 'Gul-i Farang'. By examining historical trade data, customs records, and museum specimens, the author illustrates the direct correlation between aesthetic evolution and the economic boom of carpet exports in 19th-century Tihrān and beyond. This resource is essential for historians of art and economics interested in the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and global trade in Īrān.
