Hi Xavier and Lisa, yes, how interesting!, in Iran also Carpet is so common. I personally do not remember a house without being fully covered by carpet. Also people do not like machine carpets, because it is a bad sign, like you are low prestigious. Carpet should be of silk and hand-woven (like sign of your social level and originality). One other thing is about "Bukhara". This city is very much respected in our Persian poems. There is also "Samarkand" city in Uzbakistan so famous in Persian culture(by the way "-istan" in name of countries is a Persian suffix meaning "land" so Uzbakistan means land of Uzbaks(a race name)). A famous verse from Hafez Shirazi (my favorite poet!) :
"اگر آن ترک شیرازی به دست آرد دل ما را / به خال هندویش بخشم سمرقند و بخارا را"
(translation is reserved, but knowing the meaning is recommended!!)
Il vostro racconto è talmente intrigante che per un attimo mi sono ritrovata con l'immaginazione a sorseggiare un buon the nel bazar di tappeti uzbeko!!! 🙏😊

Hey Mahdi! Thank you very much for your comment, it was very interesting to hear 😄 it took me a bit of researching but I could figure out the meaning

Rewarding read! This Christmas the gift to mother coincidentally was a carpet mousepad, naturally I had to share your post with her!
L'histoire et la patience avec lesquelles vous êtes arrivé à ce tapis le rendront sûrement toujours très spécial pour vous.
Magnifique ! Presque trop beau et précieux pour marcher dessus. Nous ne manquerons pas de vous consulter pour tout conseil de marchandage.
