The second cooperative exhibition of Qom Handwoven Carpet Employers Association is the 26th Isfahan Handwoven Carpet Exhibition, which will be held from 24th to 29th of Januay 2024. This exhibition will be held with the presence of Rashtizadeh Rug, Sedighian Rug, Elyasi Rug, Soheil Bigdeli Rug and in cooperation with Samito and Iran Guereh. In this gallery, some of the works of these artists are displayed virtually

In line with this exhibition, the second luxury rug festival was held to identify and introduce selected and luxurious works of Persian handwoven rug, in which 44 selected handwoven rug were exposed to the public, but unfortunately none of the selected rug had specifications and a guide card to introduce their works and artists, such as creators, designers, and weavers. Only one of the selected rug in the modern rug category had a rug identification tag from the Iran-Knot Collection, which received a lot of attention from the public. Another important issue was the lack of a single and standard recipe for the principled selection of luxury rug in more important categories except knot density, which was challenged by some activists

Regarding other sections of the Isfahan Handwoven Carpet Exhibition, it is important to note that several brands, including the Zolnavari rug brand, the Haghighi Family rug, the Dardashti rug, the Asachi rug and several other brands, had a prominent presence in this exhibition with correct and principled booth construction, the most distinctive of which was the Haghighi Family rug booth. In general, since exhibitions are places to display the art, culture and heritage of us Persian, in order to better display this authentic art, it is appropriate to expose it to everyone with the principled infrastructure that is one of the fundamental needs of lovers of Persian handwoven carpets
