What is Pateh Embroidery?
Pateh embroidery is one of the most authentic forms of Iranian needlework, originating from Kerman province. In this art, motifs inspired by nature—such as flowers, shrubs, cypress trees, and ancient Persian symbols—are stitched with wool threads onto a thick wool fabric. Pateh is a harmonious blend of color, emotion, culture, and patience.
