This is my entry for #ColorChallenge: Monday Red initiated by @kalemandra, and inspired by @dswigle as always!
We have tons of Persians at the antique shop I work at, and When i snapped this pic, I had actually been doing a lot of research on the carpets
It's not just Aladdin and his pet monkey riding these carpets! They take forever to make and are normally made from hand (the antique ones at least - nowadays, of course, they are machine made)
The "Carpet of Wonder" in Oman measures 4,343 square metres. It's construction required 4 years of labour by six hundred workers, resulting in 12 million man hours of work 🔨🤕. How's that for ya?

Hehehehe, they sure did💓
Love the amazing colours and pattern in these carpets. Special collectors item for some.
They definitely are. I love the blue ones.
Wow , 12 million hours 😮?!
How much would a carpet like this be sold for?
I really love this colorchallenge section, instagram with purpose.
Ah thanks my guy! It's a nice way to be a bit arty📷
It took 600 people 4 years to make this?
O_o
Very nice photograph though Pew Pew.

[EDIT] My mother wants to know why you're on the innernets when you should be working. She was mumbling something along the lines of, "In my day..."
But with that woman who knows what goes on in that head of her's.
Hahhaa, no you knob! 600 hours on the large carpet I mentioned in the post.
And you can tell Ma that I took the day off

I love these luxurious Persian carpets . I have had the pleasure of walking barefoot on a few of the best quality in my lifetime and it is heaven for the feet as well as the eyes.
