European tapestries and Persian kilims are the most useful types of flat and non-pile textiles in both regions bearing differences in terms of appearance such as: design, motif and color and texture and also in terms of specific functions which have been assigned to them. This study, therefore, has been conducted with the aim of identifying and comparing these valuable handmade textiles so that it may provide some grounds for improvement and development of Persian kilims while preserving their artistic identity. Although Iranian kilims and European tapestries use similar tools and materials and weaving technologies, but due to certain cultural and spiritual characteristics of Iran and Europe, they are different in terms of designs and patterns, color compositions, sizes as well as functions. Library-based and documentary studies were performed for achieving the aim of the paper and reviewing and comparing these types of Iranian and European handmade textiles revealed many similarities and differences.

The textile of the Bakhtiarian's nomadic have many changes during of periods .This alterations will have continued, but some of that ,have a collection of designs that come from the mind of Bakhtiarian woman ,who teach them from her deceased, these study tried to collect the motifs that have many unknown meanings. The aim of this research is to introduce these motifs and try to field study. But the main purpose of this study is to reviving the traditional Bakhtiarian motifs and avoid of its separating and abandoning and also the use of these motifs in new art works and the life of people.

The main objective of this study is evaluation of the production systems in hand-weaving household. Therefore, we use multiple criteria decision making (Taxonomy, Delphi) whit respect to economic criteria, social criteria, management criteria and qualitative criteria. The results indicate that, based on the performance of production system, employer system in large scale firms was found to be the top rank and as a result it became the best production system for the carpet industry in Azerbaijan provinces.

Sistan rug is one of the most genuine native artifacts of the region which is closely linked to the spirit and substance of the people of this land, since in these years less attention has been paid to this original art and it has been less frequently studied by the relevant experts and researchers, day by day changes has been made in its design and color that has resulted in the deterioration and disappearance of the genuine regional designs and there is a concern that the figure origins, employed in them, would be forgotten by the elapse of time. So in order to preserve and restore figures of this valuable cultural and artistic heritage, it is necessary to detect the genuine figures and use them in providing new sketches having genuineness and this cannot be accomplished but by seeking to find the origin of the figure origins of the Sistan rug. In this investigation, the efforts of the authors has been exerted on that through studying the Sistan rugs, using the survey as well as library methods and their comparison with the figures on the buff pottery in the shahr-e-sookhte (burned city) we would be able to acknowledge the originality and precedence of the Sistan carpet figures and by linking the Sistan rug with its past glory, we would pave the way to provide original figures of the Sistan rugs. Undoubtedly, the buff pottery of shahr-e-sookhte, with regard to its thousands of years of records, play an important role in identifying again the original figures of Sistan, so the collection and analysis of the Sistan rug and their comparison with the buff pottery of shahr-e-sookhte which would result in giving identity to them, can be considered a big step forward in generating original and standard figures of the rug and reproduction of this immanent art would provide the missed loop in the claim of the present pictorial culture of Sistan to complete the link with its past which is a pride.

Regarding the importance of handmade carpet advertising, variety of advertising tools and financial resources limit, prioritization of the tools by expert opinion can be effective in programming and planning on carpet artisan. Two main objectives are to be achieved in this research. The first objective determining importance factor of evaluation indices of handmade carpet advertising tools and the second objective determining priority of advertising tools used in introducing the commodity to customer in domestic target markets. Statistical population in this research includes experts aware of handmade carpet advertising and promotional tools in Tehran province. To access the first objective, eight indices of handmade carpet advertising and promotional tools have been brought up mainly coverage, cost, promptness, durability, trustworthiness, quality, influence and easiness to use. On the basis of Group AHP method and utilization of expert opinions, above indices have been compared in pairs, in determining priority of advertising and promotional tools also on the basis of expert opinions multi-criteria decision making and TOPSIS have been applied. Effectiveness index with the importance coefficient %224, promptness index with the importance coefficient %168, quality index with the importance coefficient %140 and coverage index with the importance coefficient %125 are the main evaluation indices of an advertising and promotional tool. In other words, the more effective, prompt and qualitative a tool covers more people in target society; the more is its importance. Hence, TV, in person presentation, specialized magazines and newspaper are four tools in higher priorities according to mentioned eight indices.

To study the way of folding handmade carpets, the selected sample has been put under pressure of 50g/cm2 weight at three different states. The pressure has increased uniformly and continuously at 100,200, 500, 1000 and 1500 g/cm2. The thickness of the carpet has been recorded continuously during the measurement of the thickness of the carpet sample. The pressing parameters of the carpet have been calculated in KES-F system with simulation and fitting of two components model of de-jong pressure. Also, the thickness of the part that is not able to be pressed is estimated. Based on the obtained results, it has been shown that pressing energy in the curved folded part of the carpet is very low, but the pressing energy in the part with two layers of the carpet on each other is very high. Nevertheless, the percentage of elasticity in two layers of the carpet placed on each other is remarkably low. It shows that the sensitivity and flexibility of this area is more in comparison with two layers of the carpet. On the other hand, the thickness of the part that is not able to be pressed in the area with two layers of the carpet on each other is more than that of the investigated areas. In this way, the pressing is carried out by piercing the upper naps on the lower ones. Without folding and flatting of the carpet, it is not pressed and just upper layer naps are pressed on the lower layers. In this study, the phenomenon of Domino folding is used to describe the folding behavior of the handmade carpet under static pressing.

Iranian carpets with decorative elements are one of the elements taken from the lines of Kufi inscriptions, forms the third and Submit. Inscriptions can be divided into several different types are. They are the kind of writing verses, poems and birth certificates have been inserted in your carpet and other types of decorative only and free of any form and shape of the article itself, the inscriptions are associated. Decorative element of creativity into the article that Iranian artists know best achieved, as the geometry of the process of dry-looking Henry had become beautiful. Inscription as a visual element to the text and located where the readings feature a variety of analysts have calculated. This rug from the perspective Companion with other elements and can be analyzed from the perspective of succession and are reading. So the inscription, but rather as a document as a text within the text of the other larger, the carpet, as well as overall integration into a home where the mosque is located, can be different readings. It should be noted that this paper based on library research formed.
