Production
[Page One] [Page Two]

Clipping:

Once dry, the carpets are hand-clipped to achieve an even pile height and definition. This process alone can take days or even weeks for one carpet.

Overcasting:

In Persian production, such as this, most carpets are given the selvedge as one phase of the finishing process. In this case, the sides are overcasted with wool.

Blocking:

Nearly every rug or carpet must be blocked in order to get it to lie flat and to try to get the edges relatively straight. This can take up to a week depending on the piece.

Finished Product:

Workers take a break to enjoy the finished product. As a cultural tradition, they take their shoes off to sit down on the carpet.
