Handmade carpets have been used from ancient times for floor covering. Most of the researchers around the world have a common idea about the roots and origins of carpet making which belong to Persia. Although rugs and carpets were introduced to the world such as floor covering but since it was expensive, it had been used such as a hanging picture or cloth tables especially for American people. Then that is better to say the artistic feature of carpet production had more values than its applied aspect. After introducing and cognition these products to the American and European markets working on Oriental Carpets were began. Since then Economic was the great factor for finding suitable markets for oriental carpets especially Iranian carpets which we have a closer consideration to it, the different tastes of various people around the world which had been conveyed by carpet dealers put their influences on design, color, row materials, size and the qualities of carpet production in different regions of Iran. Safavid era is one of the most important periods of not only in Iranian handicrafts fields but also in carpet production itself. In these times and nearly about previous dynasty of Safavid emperors the world of historic art works has a few groups of handmade carpets which according to the documents the great researchers in oriental carpets have a common idea that the roots of these carpets is in Iran. In this article the aim is introducing four groups of Safavid carpets production and explaining about the reasons of etymology of weaving those carpets.These Timurid & Safavid (at the end of fifteenth till seventeenth century) carpet groups are ancient samples .We must call them Classical carpets in the case of their time of weaving. When the Safavid began their conquest of Persia in 1499 and under Shah Tahmasb supervision several royal workshops were established for weaving textiles including carpets. The major ones were at Kerman, Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, yazd. The production of these factories were used to furnish the royal palaces or were sent abroad such as diplomatic gifts. By this kind of royal supporting most of the Iranian artistic works had a special evolution even in sub branches. The main structure of all fields of arts is pattern and design,then we can say the revolution of patterns and design has been occurred at this time. By introducing new motifs and shapes which maybe were the results of artist innovation and creativity the road of interfacing different arts were appeared in a way that we can say special cartoons emerged on various carpets with special names. In this essay we are searching this matter that why Iranian researches know these carpets such as Iranian production while in west they are known as Turkish or anywhere else. Is there any unilateral biased towards the origins of recognizing fields of arts? The reader will find the answer of this question in this article.
