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.

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.

Angela adams cotton rugs, wool rugs and shag rugs - Angela Adams grew up on an island twelve miles off the coast of Maine. This unusual upbringing helped to shape her unique perspective on design. Fashions and styles come and go on the mainland, but on the island the decades seem to linger. Angela’s designs are known for their sense of timelessness, simplicity and balance, all inspired by the remote and harsh natural beauty of life off the coast of Maine. Early in her design career, angela worked as a decorative painter. As her business grew, she sought an alternative medium for her expanding design repertoire. Rugs were a natural choice due to the Maine legacy of hand made textiles and floor coverings. She fell in love with the process of hand tufting wool rugs and cotton rugs, a technique that she reinvented to fit her own aesthetic. Inspired by the versatility of this new carpet medium, angela edited her patterns. She simplified and translated them into textural landscapes, also creating beautiful shag rugs. Hand tufted and sheared into undulating patterns, her area rugs became masterfully crafted works of art. This innovative approach and her dynamic patterns helped to quickly establish her as a leader in contemporary design.

Sanandaj is a major busling city of close to 400,000 people. It is the largest predominantly Kurdish city in Iran and is the capital of the province of Kurdestan. The people of Sanandaj are predominientlySineyi or Sine'i kurds of the Sorani or Centeral Kurdish group.Sanandaj rugs are among the best in quality in tribal Kurdish Rugs. The patterns of these are almost always geometric but sometimes bears great resemblance to the Bidjar. Older rugs of this type are extremely valuable and durable. The resilient Kurds descend from the ancient nomads that roamed the area thousands of years ago. They live a semi-nomadic life, either in villages or in tribes away from the cities where they can still practise their traditions and live as their ancestors did. Some Kurdish tribes include the Herki, Senjabi, Gurani, Jaffid, and Kalhors. Major rug-producing centers include Senneh, Bidjar, and the district of Khamseh. Other Kurdish villages and districts that produce rugs are Borchelu, Goltogh, Khoi, Koliai, Lylyan, Mousel, Nanadj, Songhore, Touserkan, and Zagheh. There are many grades of hand-made rugs produced in this vast province, and almost every color can be seen in these rugs. All have a pile of wool, and the foundations are of cotton, or more rarely, wool or goat hair. The weaving quality in Kurdish rugs varies from loose to dense knotting and the Persian asymmetrical knot is used more frequently than the Turkish symmetrical knot. The colors are mainly from natural dyes, and bright lively colors are used to bring life to their simple homes. The Kurds are a very peaceful, gentle people who prefer their simple nomadic lives to the complexities and frustrations of the modern world. Many other major rug-producing centers of Iran, such as Hamadan, Lorestan, or even Arak, show traces of Kurdish influence.
Rug and Carpet weaving is one of the most ancient traditions of Persian culture and art, and dates back to the Bronze Age (c. 3500-2000 BC). Though carpets are referenced by early Greek and Arab writers, when the first Persian rug was woven is unknown. The earliest known Persian carpet called the Pazyryk rug was discovered by Russian Archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in 1949 during excavations in Siberia. The Carpet had been preserved by chance, after it survived the grave robbers raid of the burial mound. Water poured into the mound through the opening they had created, and froze, thus protecting the carpet from decay. The rug dates to the fifth century BC. The Qashqai are a group of nomadic tribes living in south-central Iran, between the Bakhtiari Mountains and the province of Kerman. The Qashqais are descendants of Turko-Persians from northwestern Iran who were forced south in large waves in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. Some of the sub-tribes have gone even further south to reach areas near the Persian Gulf, and yet their Turkish descent is evident in their colorful and geometric rugs. The Qashqai rugs have very warm and magical designs, with mature colors like terra cotta, taupe, and navy blue. Most of the rugs produced by the Qashgai nomads are marketed inside the ancient city of Shiraz. The good burgers of Shiraz make similar rugs, but somehow the rugs made outside the city appear to be of better quality, the opposite of what one would expect. From the great southern province of Fars, through parts of the province of Kerman, nomadic tribes have a long history of rug weaving. Afshar, Qashqa'i, Gabbeh and others 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. Some major rug-weaving centers include the historic city of Shiraz, in Fars; the famous city of Kerman; and the towns of Abadeh, Sirjan, and many other villages and nomadic groupings. Strong Turkish and Kurdish weaving influences and techniques are visible, especially in the use of the symmetrical Turkish knot, woven up to a density of 100 knots per sq. in. The foundation is strong, durable cotton, or in more naive cases, wool or goat hair. The pile is of very lustrous, fine wool that has been shorn from local herds, and colored mainly with natural vegetable and root dyes. These simple, gentle weavers are naturally fond of bright, lively colors for their primitive homes. They produce naive rugs that are unique treasures and may take many months to complete. Qashqai kilims are in two categories: - Kilims with horizontal ribbons: This combination is made by Qashqai tribes of western Iran, which belong to a Turkish origin; this texture is not used by other Qashqai tribes. Ground of kilim has horizontal ribbons and narrow motives with floating hooks. Motives of ribbons are quite similar to motives of Shahseven kilims, which misleads in distinguishing those kilims. - Central ground inside the panels: Tulips of panels are exactly like kilims of the first group, inside the ground, there are two or three brick?shaped medallions or a square design. Important specifications of Qashqai woven are: Ground design: Geometric medallions and scattered motives on the square network designs, motives as horizontal ribbons Size and texture: Rectangular Materials: Brown woolen warps, fine woolen wefts, cotton warps. Color: Various coloring (painting) with rich colors. Fringes: Knotted, cord or ribbon. Selvages: Usually reinforced with supplementary ropes. (Also weaving hand bags and ornamental items) In some Qashqai kilims, one color of weft turns around and filament of warp and a weft with different color starts from the adjacent warp. Therefore creates a split between two colors.Plain, ornament less kilim has only one unicolor filament of weft passing orderly one underneath and one over the warp. In the advanced kinds, the adjacent wefts do not stay under or over one filament of warp, but each weft passes through a separate warp.In these hand-woven deviation of weft filament results the alteration of quality of weaving.

Investing in Oriental Rugs is like Investing in Anything! First Rule: Buy Low. Fine Persian Hand-made Oriental Rugs from Rug Weaving Capitals of the World at Affordable Wholesale Prices. A basic knowledge of oriental rug design is essential, not only as an aid to identification, but also as an important means of gaining insight into the rich and infinitely varied religious and cultural heritage of the weavers themselves. Unlike their Western counterparts, who usually strive for individual expression and the creation of a new visual language, oriental textile artists are more content to reproduce the time honored designs of their ancestors and seek to express a collective rather than an individual view of their world. This is particularly true of nomadic groups, who have hardly changed their repertoire for generations and who still seek to weave the beliefs and inspirations of their rugs, as a testament to their way of life and tribal identity. The collective expression of an individual nomadic group, village region or even an entire country is, however, modified by the wider unifying influences of culture, religion and ethnic origin. The result is a fascinating and poignant tapestry in which each rug is both the unique expression of an individual tribe or group and, at the same time, an integral part of the wider forces that have been shaped the carpet making world.

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.

textiles have turned to Oriental Rug Review for auction
reports, international market reports, book reviews, exhibition
reviews, interviews, humor, and a wide range of feature articles, both
scholarly and anecdotal.
