The repeating pattern (Vagireh design) has been common in most weaving regions of Iran, especially in carpet workshops across the northern, northeastern, and central provinces. However, after the rise of the Qajar dynasty, the Vagireh motif gained even greater popularity. This was particularly evident in the city of Yazd, where the use of Vagireh designs became especially widespread.

One of the main reasons for the popularity of this motif in Yazd is the simplicity and clarity of reading and executing the Vagireh pattern, which makes it easier for weavers to follow the design while maintaining harmony and balance throughout the carpet.

Description

The city of Yazd was not originally one of the main centers of carpet weaving, and reading complex carpet patterns was often difficult for local weavers, with a high likelihood of errors. For this reason, the Vagireh (repeating unit) design was warmly welcomed by Yazd weavers, as its structure makes pattern reading significantly easier and more practical.

Among the most important and well-known designs associated with this tradition are Gol-o-Mahi (Herati), Sardar Jangal, Amir Jangi, Ahmad Mohammadabadi, Tal-o-Khoncheh, and East London motifs, each reflecting a distinct aesthetic and cultural identity within Iranian carpet art.
