چکیده:
During the Safavid period, Iranian weavers in cities such as Yazd, Isfahan, Kashan, Rasht,
Mashhad, Qom and Tabriz could create the most important and largest centers for silk weaving. In
this era, Yazd was known for a special fabric weaving called Dibaj which was woven at times with
golden yarns. As there was a high level of competition among countries, Ghiyas-uddin and his
family had a great opportunity to achieve beautiful designs during the Safavid period. The aim of
this research is to investigate the textile art in the Safavid period and the role of Ghiyas in
flourishing this art. This study is based on a descriptive-analytical method, and the data collection
has been done through library studies.
