The heavy cost of raw materials for carpet knots, rugs and carpets
Lack of insurance and the weight of carpet raw materials are obstacles to the spread of carpets and rugs in Gilan.
The carpet weaver sits on the back of the carpet and ties the dawn, night after night, along the night. The hands of Gilan women artists have decorated many quality carpets in houses and mansions. It is a pity that such a beautiful and unique art has many problems and is deprived of insurance, which is the least right of these artists.
The artists of this border and the canvas behind the carpet are struggling with any muscle problems and constant pains to build a future for themselves, but the lack of insurance and cutting it has become a blind alley of this art.
Mojtaba Mehri, the head of the carpet department of the Samat Guilan Organization, stated: Currently, 1,000 carpet weavers are waiting for insurance, and the lack of insurance has taken away the motivation of new carpet weavers from carpet weavers.
He added: Currently, 51,000 square meters of carpets, rugs, rugs and carpets are woven in Gilan, and the inclusion of insurance for this group can greatly increase the amount of woven carpets in our province.
Mehri continued: The high cost of raw materials for carpets is another blind alley of carpet and rug weaving in Gilan, and if the necessary support is provided in this field, we will be able to dissuade a higher percentage of carpet weavers from carpet weaving to carpet and rug weaving. Let’s drive.
He pointed out: We have repeatedly advised carpet weavers to refrain from weaving carpets and weaving carpets and rugs instead, but since they cannot provide the raw materials for carpets and rugs, they continue to weave carpets, which do not bring them much income And they often hang those carpets on the wall of their own house.
The head of the carpet department of the Samat Gilan Organization stated: At present, only 40% of carpet weavers in the province weave carpets and rugs and 60% weave carpets.
Pointing out that we should focus on the texture of export carpets, he said: In order to enter and participate in foreign markets, in addition to quality, we must have a fair price to offer carpets, and all this requires serious support from carpet weavers.
