Termeh Tablecloth

The Persian word Termeh refers to a costly cloth woven from very silky threads. Weaving Termeh tablecloths are one of the oldest Persian art styles. Termeh is "a patterned cloth with colorful floral and paisley designs."

Authentic Termeh Tablecloths vs. Fake

Buying a Termeh tablecloth, you might wonder whether it is a real termeh. Yet, most inexperienced Termeh enthusiasts must learn to distinguish a real Termeh from a manufactured one.
The gorgeous handicraft, the Termeh tablecloth, was traditionally woven by hand out of silk. Nevertheless, Today, it is possible to produce it with other threads. Termeh comes in various patterns and color palettes, the most popular of which is paisley. Stunning color harmonies are an everlasting feature of Termeh clothes. When buying an authentic Termeh tablecloth, you must consider some factors:

• • • Softness: A genuine Termeh is extremely soft, so you can easily distinguish it by touching and feeling it. If it felt rough, it means the Termeh is fake.
    • Primary Material: Persian handwoven Termeh tablecloths are expected to be high quality, so they're always woven from top-grade silk and are completely free of rayon, polyester, or cotton. Many Termeh products are made from low-grade major materials, which means they're not authentic and high-quality Termeh.
    • Polyester vs. Silk Termeh: Silk Termeh has a finer texture than polyester. Termeh woven with silk fibers is much heavier than polyester fibers.
    • Reasonable Price: A Termeh tablecloth is a work of art made carefully and through a time-consuming process. Therefore, Termeh designs are of high value and more expensive. So, if a Termeh product is sold as handwoven but priced similarly to or lower than machine-made Termeh, you'd better doubt its authenticity.
    • Glimmer: The original-term fabric has a special luster due to the property of reflecting light.
    • Termeh Design: The best termeh designs include exact woven patterns with even matching colors.
