Majid collectable Persian and Oriental Rugs, Persian Carpets and Persian Kilims: Majid's trip to Shiraz( southern Iran) & meeting with Qashqai nomads in 2005
http://majidcarpets.blogspot.com/2010/10/trip-to-shiraz-and-meeting-with-qashqai.html
Tuesday, 12 October 2010. Majid's trip to Shiraz( southern Iran) and meeting with Qashqai nomads in 2005. Antique Qashqai, circa 1900. There is a measure of anxiety, in this era of globalization that traditional cultures, like the nomadic groups of Iran, are endangered, and will soon be ‘lost’. This anxiety, though understandable, fails to recognise how vibrant and adaptable such cultures are. I am talking to Fatimeh and her sister about difficulties of getting row materials, dyes and process of weaving.

Majid collectable Persian and Oriental Rugs, Persian Carpets and Persian Kilims: What to look for when buying a hand knotted rug

I started selling Persian rugs. In India, I sought out manufacturing companies which had satis...

Central Asia comprises five independent republics, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Ever since the beginning of the Soviet Union in 1917 Kazakhstan was not included in ‘Muslim Central Asia’, but preferred to have a non-Asian identity by being linked closely to Russia and Siberia.
