Story of Termeh (Persian textile)
Termeh is a luxurious and intricate Persian textile traditionally handwoven in Iran. It is known for its exquisite craftsmanship and elaborate patterns. Termeh is typically made from natural fibres such as silk, wool, or both. The fabric often features intricate designs and motifs, including paisley patterns, floral motifs, and geometric shapes.
The production of Termeh involves a meticulous and time-consuming process. Skilled weavers use a traditional handloom called “Ghlimeh” to create the fabric. The weaving process requires great precision and attention to detail.
Termeh is highly valued for its quality and beauty and is often used to create various traditional Persian textiles and garments, including scarves, shawls, tablecloths, and decorative pieces. It is also used in the creation of traditional Persian clothing such as jackets, vests, and formal attire.
In addition to its use in textiles, Termeh is also recognized as a symbol of Persian culture and heritage. It represents the rich artistic and weaving traditions of Iran and is often associated with luxury and elegance. Today, Termeh continues to be produced by skilled artisans in different regions of Iran and is highly sought after both within the country and internationally.
