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.

baluch rugs- specialize in antique small rugs from Baluchistan. These are all collectible examples of nomad art. Each piece utilizes the
design skills and showcases the individuality of each weaver. 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.

modified reproductions of antique originals successfully blending Old

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.

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.

Knotting of Oriental Rugs and Carpets. Knot Measurements: In Pakistan - number of knots per linear inch across the warp and weft.
In the Bhadohi Varanasi area of India: It is the knots in 9/10 of an inch of the rug's width. In China: "90 line" rug has 90 knots per linear foot across its width. So 90 divided by 12 equals 7.5 knots per horizontal.
In Iran: uses the term, "Raj" ("reg") which is the number of knots per "gereh."
A gereh is 7cm. which is approximately 2 3/4 inches. Twenty four raj
would be approximately 76 knots per square inch. Most rugs now coming
from Iran are measured in knots per sq. centimeter.

How Oriental Rugs are Named - paradiseorientalrugs-
Oriental rugs are named in the following ways:
The name of the city or town where it was woven. The name of the city or town where it was sold. The name of the area in which the
weavers lived where the design was first created, now being woven somewhere else entirely.
The name of the tribal group known for incorporating that particular design into many of their rugs.
The name of the Country it was woven in. Example: Chino-Chinese, Indo-India, Paki-Pakistan.
Here is an example to illustrate some of the above points. An Indo
(country where it was woven) Persian (country where the design
originated) Prayer rug (rug type) with a Tree of Life design.
The name of the workshop where it was woven or even the name of the
Master Weaver running a particular workshop or overseeing the weaving
of very special pieces. Example: Haji Jalili (master weaver, NW Iran)
Tabriz (city) close to where these rugs were produced.
What is a Gabbeh?-
Gabbeh is a particular type of hand-woven Persian rug. The word Gabbeh
translates very closely to the words unfinished or unclipped. Gabbehs are woven in Southern Iran and characteristically have a very
long pile, sometimes up to 2 or more inches and are not as tightly
knotted as your classic Persian rug. Much thicker than the average
handmade rug they are sometimes used for sleeping. With their very
simple design elements they are perfectly suited for use in
contemporary interiors. If carefully chosen they can go well with
classic interiors but this is not a rug recommended for a formal room.
