Just to show how massive a Persian Carpet could be, here you see a 725x441 cm Carpet woven in 1902 at Mashhad. I stood at a 10.5 meters distance and no zoom.

Those pics are great... they remind me of this one - myself (center, 2 years old), my two brothers (both older than me), and Mow-Lee, our Alaskan Malemute.

Yes! As these type of rugs / carpets are woven by Persian knotes, they can be used another at least 100 years, if be cared enough.

Although this is going back a few years now, Artesh, why is there a significant Polish community in Tehran? How or under what circumstances did the Poles end up there?

The shortest answer is "because of WW2 and Stalin".

For longer and more complete answers, these might helpful:

Iran–Poland relations - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Iran - Poland in Iran - Gov.pl website

Diplomatic relations between Poland and Islamic Republic of Iran were established on March 19, 1927.

Thousands of Poles sought shelter in Iran during World War II, but today Poland has slammed the door on refugees.

Thanks for that, an intriguing side bar to the war. It's funny how things worked out like that, I remember from living in Scotland, there are fish and chip stores there with Italian names and it always puzzled me what the Italian connection to fish and chips was, until I found out that there were POW camps in Scotland with Italians in them during the war and afterwards some chose to stay and their descendants are still alive and well running chippies across the land...

I'll read that stuff, Artesh.
