Isfahan Persian Calico Multi-Cloth Persian calico is made in Isfahan, said to be the ancient capital of Iran. It is a traditional hand-printed calico that creates continuous floral and arabesque patterns by layering wooden blocks. The maker of this item is Mr. Hassan Sedighi Fard, a craftsman like a Living National Treasure in Isfahan calico. At the time of purchase (30 years ago), he told me that Japan's NHK had come to interview him before. There are many molds for each part of the pattern, and these are used to create the patterns on the fabric. These wooden molds are made of pear wood and have been used for about 100 years. It is currently impossible to purchase new calico made by Mr. Hassan Sedighi Fard. This is a valuable unused item. Size: Approximately 100x150cm Material: 100% cotton
