Since long ago hunting
has played a special
role in human life. In
different periods artists
has represented scenes of
hunting in their artwork
including carpets.
Those carpets which
have reflected hunting
ceremony especially in
the Safavid period are
among the finest and most
valuable historical carpets.
This article first attempts
to explore the concept
and statue of hunting in
Iranian culture and art,
and then to examine and
compare the ways this
event has been reflected in
Safavid and Qajar carpets.
By gathering data and
illustrations from libraries
and web sites and in a
descriptive and analytical
method, I have tried to
answer these questions:
What is the place of
hunting in the culture and
art of Iran? What is the
situation of motifs of hunting in the pattern of carpets and in what relation do they stand
with other parts of the pattern? In respect of form and content how have the hunting motifs
been represented? While hunting scenes are reflected in the Safavid carpets in a decorative
way and related to other floral and abstract motifs, they are manifested in a realistic and
narrative way in the Qajar period. Moreover, in the first these motifs are located within a
spiritual and otherworldly atmosphere and in the second we are encountered with a more
earthly and material one.
