Gabbeh rugs are produced by the nomadic Qashqai tribal people who live
around Shiraz in the southern part of Iran. The Qashqai are pastoral
nomads who tend to their herds of sheep and goats that produce the
excellent fiber used in the wool rugs that they weave. The word Gabbeh
literally means unclipped and refers to the weave. Gabbeh rugs are
usually flat woven from high quality local wool with loose piles and
are very thick, soft, and luxurious to the touch. Skilled artisans ply
their trade using Turkish knots and rugs can have up to 100 knots per
square inch.
ncient tribe surviving in the Chahar Mahal region of
south-central Iran. Primitive Bakhtiari rugs frequently have a
checkerboard or garden pattern decorated with trees-of-life, birds,
flowers and animals, sometimes realistic, sometimes abstract. Generally
these are woven with a Turkish knot. he 18th century saw elaborate homes being built by
the Khans in the Chahar Mahal valley. The decorative gardens within
became a symbol of status and pride, and thus, became a focal point for
weavers. In the late 19th century, oil was found on their land, making
the Khans very wealthy. This allowed them to provide the best of
materials to the weavers of a superior rug industry they had already
established.
Shiraz is an ancient city in central Iran which
produces a very warm and comfortable series of rugs. The designs are
very simple and geometric.Through parts of the province of Kerman, nomadic
tribes have a long history of rug weaving. Afshar, Qashqai, Gabbeh and
other tribal rugs are produced in the southern part of this vast area.
The Afshar tribes are mostly in the province of Kerman, while the
renowned Qashqai tribes are spread across both provinces and other
parts of southern Iran.
Turkoman rugs are handmade in north-western and
eastern Iran, parts of Turkey, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan,
Syria, and other parts of the Caucasus. They are generally very soft
and lush and very similar to one another, and very distinguishable from
other Persian rugs. The patterns are normally all-over geometric
details, known as 'guls', repeated in straight lines on the field, with
the most popular color being a rich burgundy, exclusive to the
Turkomans. This historic region of Iran, as well as Turkey and
Uzbekistan, have had the most significant influence on the development
of the present-day carpet industry. Their bold style of weaving
originates partly from Mongols who invaded Iran in the 13th century,
settling there in the north-west. In these rugged mountains these tough
nomads of both sexes have the talent and skill to weave dramatic,
high-quality carpets by hand,
Tabriz is an ancient city in north-western Iran, and
the most prolific of all carpet centres. The quality in their carpets
is generally exceptional, with most on a base of fine cotton, but
sometimes on pure silk. There are many unique designs but typically the
pattern in a Tabriz rug is filled with dense floral motifs, large
palmettes, vases, or vivid hunting scenes or pictorials in the field.
These can be with or without a medallion, and geometric designs are
also seen. Tabriz is one of the oldest and well-known rug
producers in the world. The history of over 1000 years of Tabriz is
accentuated by invasions, wars, occupations, and of course, its rug
exporting industry. From 1499-1722, the Safavid Dynasty, was the golden
era, when the Safavids overthrew the Turks occupying Tabriz. Given one
of the first Royal workshops, Tabriz has kept its tradition of being an
artistic focal point of Persian culture alive. Today, many Tabriz rugs
emulate the style of the Safavid rugs. When commissioning a pattern for
hand weaving, a designer will likely visit Tabriz. It is not uncommon
for signatures of master weavers to be woven into their fine works. /font>
The Kashmar is a relatively rare carpet produced by
master weavers in the province of Khorassan, in north-eastern Iran. The
small city of Kashmar is very old, responsible for producing exquisite
carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily distinguishable because of
their unique designs and their large size. The patterns are usually
historic tableaux telling the story of a significant event in Persian
history. The province of Khorassan is the biggest in Iran,
stretching across the north-east of the country. The capital city is
Mashad, where most rugs of the area come to market. Some other
rug-producing centers in this region are Kashmar (Turshis), Moud,
Sabzevar, Ghain, and Birjand, most of which are situated very close to
Mashad. The king, Shah Abbas, would regularly seize and destroy badly
woven carpets, and those with inferior coloring techniques, to
guarantee the highest standards of this ancient art.

Each rug is hand-woven using beautiful vegetable dyed Baluchi wools. Because of the small size of these pieces different weaving techniques and design elements are used which are rarely found in the larger rugs of this region. These pieces were woven with utility in mind. We see saddlebags, animal trappings, tent trappings, grainbags and small rugs, all woven to be used and embellish the daily lives of these nomads. In our homes of today these small pieces also have many uses. They make beautiful floor or bench pillows, sofa pillows, wall hangings and table runners.

Then as time went on and antique oriental rugs becoming scarcer, Megerian expanded the business in the early 80’s taking their expertise directly to the loom to produce delicately modified reproductions of antique originals successfully blending Old World craftsmanship with today’s design aesthetics.

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The culture of Turkish carpets (lesartsturcs.org) Before
marriage, while mastering the textile arts, young girls create the
ceyiz, a dowry collection of beautiful things that will be useful in
their future homes. A girl might knit socks and create a heybe, a
saddlebag, for her husband to carry over his shoulder at the market in
a public display of her domestic skills; she will embroider towels and
weave pillows, carpets and wallhangings.
For the earliest coverings fibers were usually
chosen because they were native to the place where the rugs were to be woven.
Because sheep raising was so widespread, wool became the chief carpet fiber.
Silk was woven into rugs and hangings in the Far East. The hair of
animals--including goats, camels, and alpacas--was used in certain lands.
Cotton, jute, and linen were also used, especially in backing.

The use of
vegetables, bark, roots and other natural items to make dyes has been a well
known art for many thousands of years. This ancient practice continued
unchanged and untouched untill the mid 19th century when synthetic dyes were
invented. The findings at a Chinese spring dating from about 3000 B.C.
indicate that the science of dyeing was initially developed in the Far East.
On the other hand, in Europe the first dyers were most probably people who
left around Zurich Lake in about 2000 B.C. The dyeing industry was established
in the 15.th century B.C. .....

The mat weaving industry of Pattamadai, 20 km from here, which hitherto used synthetic dyes for colouring its internationally acclaimed rugs, is all set to use an eco-friendly colorant, extracted from a plant and `resurrected' by a scientist of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University. Though the mat weavers of Pattamadai used the natural dye extracted from this plant, Sappan (Caesalpinia sappan), till some decades ago, it vanished due to excessive exploitation, forcing them to switch over to cheap and bright synthetic dyes. Yet, P. Ravichandran of Sri Paramakalyani Centre for Environmental Sciences (SPKCES), a satellite centre of MSU at Alwarkurichi, undertook the mission of reviving the culture of using natural dyes in the mat weaving industry. click the link for detailed article Pattamadai mat weaving industry changes its colour (By The Hindu)

oriental rug - An authentic oriental rug is a handmade carpet that is either knotted with pile or woven without pile. Oriental-design rugs made by machine or any method other than hand knotting or hand weaving are not considered authentic oriental rugs. These rugs normally come from a broad geographical region extending from China and Vietnam in the east to Turkey and Iran in the west and the Caucasus in the north to India in the south. People from different cultures, countries, racial groups and religious faiths are involved in the production of oriental rugs.

found in the rug.
