Yalameh-i-Qashqayi carpets in Borujen city of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province (as the main source of Yalamecarpet weaving) and some of its suburban villages are especially important. The people settled in the province of Isfahan after the migration to Ali Abad area and then settled in other areas of Isfahan province and neighboring provinces, including Borujen, in the province of Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari. In this way, a new era of propagation and the original role of the Yilmeh tribal system emerged. Yalameh carpet is woven in three designs of a pillow, a bowl, and one that can be said that they all fall into one group, but they are combined in various shapes. In this paper, it will be tried to use the library and field method to find out the overall Yalameh carpet by separating all the components used in it (including pools, margins, patches, motifs and composition) and Then they will examine the evolution of the last 20 years and provide a better understanding of the group of carpets (somewhat unknown). The questions of this review are as follows: What are the differences in the design and role of the new and old carpets? What is the most and the least change in which group of tripartite designs and at a closer look, in which part of the components of Yalameh carpet has been applied? In this way, it will be determined that despite the same pattern of motifs in old and new samples, there are obvious differences in the way of displaying new designs and their arrangement, which are discussed in the text of the article

Although carpet has a very long history in Iran, the purpose of this article is to study one of the most important periods of Persian art history before the Safavid, Turkomani Period; and one of the most important ways to know these period carpets is the reports of European tourists, especially the Venetian merchants' from Tabriz, pointing to the beautiful rugs of the Blue Mosque and the silk-woven rugs of the Uzun Hasan courts. In addition to these reports, the pictures of carpets can be seen in the paintings of that period, a typical examples of which are Big Head Shahname, Khamse Nizami and Khavaran Neme belonging to the Turkomani period.
And since the Turkmen era, is a prelude to one of the most important periods of the Iranian regime, the Safavids. Therefore, the emphasis on conducting research on Turkmen carpet can be the source of many ambiguities in the carpet of the later period. Therefore, one of the reasons for this research was the lack of special attention to the Turkish carpets by the researchers. Although the study of pre Safavid carpets has its own problems, the lack of carpet documentation and the lack of attention of experts in the field to Turkmen carpets are among the research problems of this section.
Despite these problems, the present article can lead to the recognition of the carpets of this period of transition and important. Other goal of this research is extraction of roles and drawings that have the essence of Turkomani carpet and are considered to be the starting of Safavid carpets. In this regard, there have been some research questions, including: What are the characteristic of Turkomani carpets' motifs? and what effects do it have on Safavid carpets? Research method is historical- analytical-descriptive in the search for fact; the collection of information is a library.

Patterns in Iranian art should be called message painting and expression painting, which sometimes manifests itself directly and sometimes in symbolic language. One of the places of expression and emergence of symbols in Iran is the "carpet". In addition to the traditional and local aspects, these patterns and expressions can express the creative mind influenced by the environment around the carpet weaver. According to researchers, although little is known about Kurdish weaving before the nineteenth century, many garden officials and flower carpets from the 17th to 18th centuries identified northwestern Iran as Kurdish. In every general book of carpets, there are two well-known and famous types of "Saneh" and "Bijar", but these two can not be considered the most Kurdish carpets left because at least two other types of Kurdish carpets, called "Mosul" (In Iraqi Kurdistan) and "Savojbolagh" have ceased to exist and be produced in the category of contemporary Kurdish carpets. The purpose of this study is to retrieve the history, introduce the location, and location of the carpet attributed to Savojbolagh in the Mokrian region, northwestern Iran. For this purpose, the authors try to recover the position of the carpets attributed to "Savojbolagh" with a descriptive-analytical method and with the aim of development, and its qualitative data as documents. The result contained the following findings: Savojbolagh carpets were not produced before the First World War and for reasons we are unaware of, and this type can be considered the best carpet, with natural plant colors and a moderate price in the market of that time. Traces of these carpets are often found in the collections of European countries. Due to the lack of introduction of this type of carpet in Iran and the importance and necessity of reviving and addressing it or even recovering such designs and colors, for carpet weavers, it can lead to the continuation of the production of such exquisite carpets.

Time, its concept, and its way of perception and expression are among the topics of interest in different fields of human thought. The way of looking at the time has caused to various opinions about its nature.The carpet artists of the Qajar era, influenced by the process of transformations in different fields, acquired new experiences in designing than in previous periods. Faced with phenomena like time, artists represented it according to their subjective and objective universe and the capacities of the carpet.The problem of this research is the interpretation and understanding of time in the design and pattern of the Qajar carpet as a text medium, based on the proposition of "understanding" in Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutic approach. Based on the necessity of knowing the different aspects of carpets, including the representational capacity and implications of the meanings of the design and pattern of carpets, the purpose of this article is to identify the time, quality, and identity of its types in Qajar carpets.
The main questions for this research are: What does the representation of time look like in the Qajar rug? How to explain the understanding of time and the identity of its types in the carpet of Qajar based on the philosophic hermeneutic of Gadamer? To get answers to the research questions, the five samples of the Qajar carpet pattern were selected by a non-probability method and studied based on the content analysis method. The nature of this research is basic in terms of qualitative research. The method of data collecting is the documentary- library and artworks observation, and the means of collecting information are research sheets and pictures. Based on the findings, time on the Qajar carpet was recorded qualitatively and quantitatively with related signs.Ritual events, mythological thoughts, and traditions, different writings, creating movement and time sequence using spatial contrast, visual elements, reading writings, leveling the work, narrative and its elements, using symbols referring to time, They are one of the generative preconceptions of time.and with denotation and connotation signification and the re-reading of texts absent from the work, they cause mental association and intuitive understanding of the types of time on the carpet. In addition, the dominant discourses in the Qajar period were effective in the way that society and the carpet artist faced the times and its types.King power and authority, nationalism, traditionalism, modernism, myth and religion are among the most significant of these discourses.

Tasheer Carpets are among Eisa Bahdori’s works in carpet designing, which enjoy special structural and visual features. These carpets illustrate a single theme havingbeen designed and woven in three different ways, which evidences the capabilities of their creative designer. Therefore, this article aims at the visual analysis of Bahdori’s trilogy through a comparative approach. The research method is descriptive-analytical, and the data have been collected through field study (interviews and photography of works) as well as library study. The purpose of the study is to answer this main question: what are the commonalities and differences of the structural features of designs and patterns in Eisa Bahadori’s carpet trilogy concerning the theme of Tasheer?
 The results indicates that a repetition of a number of motifs, along partial similarities in rotation of arabesque, is common in all three carpets; among these motifs, one can note the presence of animals (ibex, deer, tigers, lions, and bears), birds (pheasants, humpbacks, and falcons),mythological animals (Simurgh and dragons), vase designs, and combat scenesbetween Simurgh and pheasant. In addition to these commonalities, the structures of carpets in terms of the presence or absence of toranj and sar-toranj as well as their shape (oval, circle), the coloring of the background and borders, and even the way the creatures and vegetal elements are pictured have their unique visual values. ​​Such visual features distinguish each carpet from the other, despite their single theme of Tasheer, and reveal a process of growth in the designing of these three carpets
