Abstract
Tenth and Eleventh (A.H.) centuries are in line with resuming the glory and magnitude of Persian Art. Craftworks (handicrafts) including carpet, attained a great status and dignity comparing the past in the light of this revolution, and find a completely new place for itself. This important issue became a start and turning point in forming original patterns and models and creating new compositions in the design of the carpets and also strengthened the basis of the carpet designing for coming eras. It seems that such phenomenon was due to the novelties and innovations that occurred in the design and pattern of hand-knitted craftworks especially in relation to carpet and caused the prosperity of Safavid carpet. This article tries to investigate the ground and means of such innovation and revolution in the designs and patterns of the carpet of this golden era by providing internal and external indications in this regard.

Abstract
The hunting & animal patterns is indeed one of the most important & effective motifs which can be seen in Persian Art since ancient times. For a long period of time, these motifs (which include religious & old mythological concepts, and tell about the geographical & natural human being environment, as well as his own desires, his domineeringness, and struggle for survival), have been designed & accomplished in various subjects and to their perfections by man of those ages in different arts. The importance of the hunting & animal motifs has caused these particular motifs to be repeated at any age. Meanwhile these repeated patterns have kept their own concepts & specifications regarding the variety of animals and compositions and at the same time have been rendered in innovative styles. This paper is trying to deal with one of the hunting & animals patterns in Persian Art namely: “Catch & Take” pattern. It also introduces some samples from the ancient ages till Safavid era, and finally the manifestation of these patterns from viewpoint of verity of animals & compositions have been studied in some carpets of Safavid era.

Abstract
This article aims at studying the geometrical proportions of five types of most outstanding designs of Safavid carpets as one of the most important styles in carpet art of Iran. This research has been conducted using geometric methods of translation of measures and finding the basic module for identifying the proportions in carpets for to determination and comparison of modules with each other. Then the findings of the research have been compared with reference geometrical proportions of the Iranian geometry. Ultimately, the findings of this paper have been compared with special proportions present in decorative arts of the Timurids, Ilkhanid, and Seljuk periods, which possess special and specific proportions according to researchers, in order for determining the origin of this system of proportions. The results indicate that the carpets have general geometrical proportions. Such proportions include certain proportions between the pattern and dimensions of carpets.

Abstract
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.
