Study on the production and distribution of early modern Indian carpets as trade goods

这项研究的目的是揭示从17世纪到18世纪在印度北部和南部生产的地毯的特点，并根据世界不同地区人们的需求检查它们的分布和消费。因此，很明显，一些传统上被称为“拉合尔地毯”的地毯，被认为是北印度的，很可能是在南印度编织的贸易商品。此外，这些进口地毯的价值和意义取决于这些地毯被接受的社会背景。

The aim of this research was to reveal the characteristics of carpets produced in both north and south India from the seventeenth to the eighteenth century and examined their distribution and consumption in accordance with people's demands in different areas of the world. As a result, it becomes clear that some of the carpets traditionally named "Lahore carpets" and attributed to north India were most likely woven in south India as trade goods. Moreover, the value and significance of these imported carpets varied depending on the social context in which these carpets were accepted.
