Craftsmanship is the embodiment of three elements of beauty, skill and thought, and since any handwritten product describes the historical, social and cultural characteristics of the place of production, it can be considered as an important factor in the recognition of culture and civilization. In recent years, the Iranian handmade carpet has undergone a period of decline and stagnation in international competitions with other countries. So, to create a competitive environment, these industries need to evolve, albeit not to the detriment of the overall structure of handicrafts and the specific characteristics of this art-industry.
