LONDON, January 23 (IranMania) - Persian rugs have reportedly sold quite well in DOMOTEX HANNOVER 2006, ILNA said.
DOMOTEX 2006, which was held in Germany last week, is an international trade show and a springboard to the fast-growing Asian markets, offering opportunities to access the Middle East market.
According to Commerce Ministry, Persian rug sales at the exhibition managed to compensate for the poor international sales of the product last year.
Iranian carpet companies were represented with 50 stalls and visitors reportedly took great interest in Persian rugs, world-famous for their unique traditional designs and natural colors.
The organizers of DOMOTEX HANNOVER 2006 announced the winners of the Carpet Design Awards (CDA) on January 15.
For Best Traditional Innovation, Miri Iranian Knots of Iran won the top prize of 1,000 euros.
The judges were impressed with the care this company takes to ensure that each carpet is unique with its own special features, according to the official website of DOMOTEX HANNOVER 2006.
Some $197.1 million worth of Persian rugs was exported during March-September 2005.
Hand-woven carpet exports to Germany and the United States accounted for some 63 percent of the amount in the period during which $45.5 million worth of carpets was exported to Germany, $39.6 million to the US, $17.9 million to the United Arab Emirates, $16.7 million to Japan and $15 million to Italy.
