Persian embroidery

The earliest piece of physical Persian embroidery is from the Seljuk Empire (1037–1194 A.D.);[2] it featured a strong Chinese-style pattern influencing the design.

[2] The Chinese style of embroidery of this time featured a satin stitch (Persian: ṭirāz) made of silk thread and was applied mainly for ornamentation purposes.

[4] The embroidery featuring metal tinsel in tulle (Persian: naghdeh-duzi) is a common technique of the Jews of Iran.

[5] The gold and silver embroidery (Persian: malileh-duzi) style flourished across Persia and was used for decorating household objects.

[6] Pateh needlework is created using silk thread, common designs include the cypress tree and the sun with flourishes of paisley patterns.
