    Iran and a great part of the Muslim world are full of treasures. It simply a pity the type of government that exists in most of these nations.

    Not architecture but two wonderful carpets that are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art:


    The beautiful Ardabil Carpet is one of the most important objects in the V&A’s Middle Eastern Collection, and the centrepiece of our Jameel Gallery of Islamic art. As the world’s oldest dated carpet, it is incredibly delicate and needs careful preservation. How is such a large and precious object preserved? Join our Head of Science, Boris Pretzel, and curator of Islamic Collections at Chester Beatty Library, Dublin, Moya Carey, to find out how it can be kept in displayable condition over the next 500 years. Find out more: https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the-ar...


    The magnificent sixteenth-century Emperor's Carpet from Safavid Iran was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum in 1941, but its condition was so fragile that it was only displayed for public twice over the next sixty years. This video documents the ambitious three-year conservation program that was launched in 2006 to stabilize the condition of the carpet so its lustrous wools and dazzling colors can be displayed the Museum on a regular basis. Featured speakers: Sheila Canby, Florica Zaharia, Midori Sato, Yael Rosenfeld, Janina Poskrobko The Emperor’s Carpet; second half 16th century; silk (warp and weft), wool (pile; asymmetrically pile; Rug: L. 299 in. (759.5 cm), W. 133 1/2 in. (339.1 cm), Wt. on a 10" tube: 144 lbs. (65.3 kg) Learn more about this artwork: https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collect... © 2013 The Metropolitan Museum of Art #TheMet #art #museum #history #NewYork #Islamic #carpet #conservation
