Handmade carpets are one of the oldest forms of functional art. For centuries, carpets have been inseparable pieces in homes, palaces, hotels, and venues around the world. The lack of an independent professional organization to educate, standardize, and appraise handmade carpets has deprived this intricately splendid form of art to reach its true potential.
United Carpet is an independent platform focused solely on handmade carpets. With the help of the latest technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, image processing, Augmented/Virtual Reality, and Blockchain, United Carpet identifies, verifies, and certifies handmade carpets. It aims to engage relevant institutions such as universities, museums, auction houses, as well as collectors, dealers, designers, architects, and other stakeholders.
Since time immemorial human beings have been drawn to beauty and have strived to create it. Aside from warp and weft, a mutual characteristic among all precious handmade carpets is a miraculous combination that is indescribable in words. Perhaps the mixture of love and light is the closest description of this magical mixture that exists in between countless knots of invaluable carpets. Time and again people have experienced or witnessed an unprompted shed of tears of joy after looking at a beautiful carpet. To preserve, appreciate, and expand this joyous feeling it is necessary to practice CarpeT Diem!
