Interestingly, they are hand-knotted in the eastern counties of Razavi Khorassan, and Southern Khorassan provinces of Iran, and in a Large area of Western and southern Afghanistan, alongside the Iran\/Afghanistan and the Pakistan\/Afghanistan borders. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaluch rugs have one thing in common which makes them distinguishable from other oriental carpets: their colour. Combined with vessels of beige and mustard all around, there are four main shades that are used for the background in these tribal works: dark red, dark brown, dark grey, and dark blue. On the other hand when it comes to borders, Baluch pieces have set up their own trend: they either come in a similar colour-tone as their central field, or they come in shades that are unrelated to their central field. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUsing Persian Knots (also known as Asymmetrical Knots), these rugs vary in quality. The best of Baluch carpets are made-in Iran, hence, they are known as Persian Baluches, or precisely, Khorasan Baluches. Interestingly, as the geographical location of where these oriental beauties are knotted is right at the southern side of where Turkoman works are made, many people confuse the two. Furthermore, Baluch pieces use motifs that are quite similar to motifs used in Turkoman rugs, which in fact has added to the confusion over what is a real Baluch and what is a real Turkoman. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all nomadic carpets, Baluches are made on ground looms. The warp is mainly wool-based and the weft is of a single thread, which places these carpets in a lower tier in comparison to other Persian works. Similarly with respect to measurement, Baluch rugs were initially made to be used inside tents. As a result, they tend to be smaller on the average, which is exactly what makes them relatively affordable in the world of hand-knotted Persian carpets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor more information, please call us at: +1 250 480 7114 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baloch_people\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/topic\/Baloch\"\u003eBritannica Entry (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hFbSKrqQp-o\"\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Nature (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.atlasofhumanity.com\/baloch\"\u003eMore Information (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":225401010,"sku":"13094","price":599.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_2409.jpg?v=1737923151"},{"product_id":"15047-ghom","title":"15047 - Ghom Persian Hand-Knotted Authentic\/ Traditional Carpet\/Rug Silk-made Signed-piece\/ Size: 6'7\" x 4'7\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNR: \u003ca class=\"podcast-video\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/r1Fsdb7ndfw?si=VQDBKZ5Pv4zyQE2L\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/Ghom_6884a47e-bf82-4d1d-a77b-bad92150fa89.jpg?v=1756793646\" alt=\"Ghom podcast\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e15047\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e: 6'7\" x 4'7\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Iran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePile\u003c\/b\u003e: Silk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Silk\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e         \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQom carpets\/rugs, alongside their counterparts from Tabriz, Isfahan, and Nain, are considered to be some of the finest works of art knotted in the modern Iran (Persia).

Most of them are sold in the Shiraz bazaar. Typically, the warps, wefts and pile are all of hand-spun Wool and there are no fringes: the Kelim at the ends is tucked in and sewn up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lori are one of the most important nomadic tribes of Iran and inhabit the western and southern parts of the country.  In much of their territory, they live in areas adjacent to the Ghashgai.  Unlike the Ghashgai who speak Turkish, the Lori are of Iranian origin and their language is similar to Persian. Various pressures in the 20th century have forced many Lori to abandon the nomadic life and settle down in villages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Farsi (the language of Persia), the word \u003cem\u003eGabbeh\u003c\/em\u003e means something raw or natural, uncut or “\"in the rough.” Gabbeh are the world's best-known coarsely woven Iranian tribal rugs. Traditionally, the knotting and weaving of nomadic carpets are a woman’s domain and area of expertise. True nomadic rugs such as the Gabbeh are almost exclusively knotted for personal use, and often the woman’s spirit and natural artisanship are quite apparent in these personal interpretations of their life in art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are two main types of Lori rugs on the market.  The first are the nomadic carpets produced in the south; these we generally call Lori Behbehan.  They are similar to Ghashgai rugs and made entirely of wool, but they use a different range of motifs and are fond of bright contrasting colors.  A strong red is particularly prominent.  The other type of Lori rug is marketed in the town of Khorramabad and those are called \u003cem\u003eDozars\u003c\/em\u003e. These are squarer and more restrained in appearance; a reddish-brown is the main color. The designs are varied; all-over patterning predominates. The fringes are often beautifully braided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGabbeh rugs have a very thick pile, woven in a relatively low knot density. Designs are typically geometric and symbolic in shape and style. Gabbeh weavers may be telling a story, depicting a landscape or scene, or even conveying an emotion. Most commonly Gabbeh will be asymmetric and woven to tell a story, with figures and symbols depicting parts of the weaver’s “tale.” Sometimes, figural designs are seen: lions, their bodies covered with small geometrical motifs or copies of relief's at Persepolis (the capital near Shiraz of the Achemenian Dynasty).  It is this subjective and random process that renders a genuine Gabbeh a completely unique work of art, distinct from other Persian rugs and from many other types of weaving or knotting in general.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeware of “knock-offs” from Turkey, India, China and Egypt, to name a few… these cheap imitations are not always handmade, and usually contain inferior wool and chemical dyes on a cotton foundation.  You can usually tell by the white fringe that the rug is a cotton-foundation knock-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow to Medium, depending on the craftsmanship, although a Gabbeh is always a sound investment because of the longevity of the rugs themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gabbeh\"\u003eWikipedia for Region (Article) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lori_people\"\u003eWikipedia for Lori People (Article)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m_xcWKmgDMM\"\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Nature (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fzd7IMuSZmY\"\u003eCarpet Production (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xaBsaQwwV7Y\"\u003eDocumentary: (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":225402814,"sku":"15262","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/15262pic.jpg?v=1754340403"},{"product_id":"15387-kelim","title":"15387-Kelim Hand-Knotted\/Handmade Persian Rug\/Carpet Tribal\/ Nomadic Authentic\/ Size: 6'5\" x 5'4\"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNR:\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/OlINYiE1KSs?si=iNP1kJHBTdCM85xp\" class=\"podcast-video\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"float: right;\" alt=\"Kelim Podcast\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/Kelim.jpg?v=1755692409\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e15387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation: \u003c\/b\u003eKelim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize: \u003c\/b\u003e6'5\" x 5'4\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e Iran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePile: \u003c\/b\u003eWool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase: \u003c\/b\u003eCotton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKELIM\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDetails:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKelims are woven carpets in which coloured wefts form the face of the finished weaving.

A kelim has even been found useful to cover up an incurable damp patch on a wall! They are hardwearing, and as their appearance is exactly the same on both sides, they can be turned over if the colours on one side have faded, to give wear on both sides. Because they are not as bulky as carpets with a pile, they can be stored, flat or rolled up, in very little space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe main centres of production at the present time are in Persia and Turkey. Persian kelims come mainly from Shiraz, though today quite a number are coming from Waramin, and the finest still come, as they have always done, from Sine. The Shiraz and the Waramin tend to use simple, tribal geometric designs; the Waramin particularly look very Caucasian now, and many people take them for Kazaks. The Sine’s invariable have very fine designs, and for these beautiful rugs the rule that kelims are inexpensive no longer apply; for the finest pieces the prices have increased enormously.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Turkish kelims come in two main sizes - 6’ x 4’, the majority of which are prayer designs, and large ones measuring between 12’-16’ long by 6’-8’ wide. The colours of the large Turkish kelims tend to be better than those of the small ones, especially in old examples; this may be because the large carpets got more use, which up to a point improves the appearance of any good carpet, while the small ones used to be kept for dowries and remained rolled up until a marriage could be arranged. These large carpets are generally made in two pieces on two fairly narrow looms, and then sewn together down the middle. The design usually consists of a series of diamond-shaped medallions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLOW TO LOW\/MEDIUM\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKelims are attractive and hardwearing and naturally improve any surroundings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kilim\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K7aFDj1vdIQ\"\u003eProduction (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SSWXZf1Fp7A\"\u003eWeaving (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":225404198,"sku":"15387","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/15387pic.jpg?v=1754340537"},{"product_id":"10635-lori-gabbeh","title":"10635 - Lori Persian Hand-knotted Authentic\/Nomadic\/Traditional\/Tribal Gabbeh,  Size: 7'7\" x 5'5\"\/ 231cm x 165cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca class=\"podcast-video\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Z9CcayIcP3M?si=0ht1wo4P5sLH_l6Z\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/Lori-Gabbeh.jpg?v=1755692408\" alt=\"Lori Gabbeh Podcast\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e NR:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e10635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e7'7\" x 5'5\"\/ 231cm x 165cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePile:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eCotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnotted for centuries in central and southern regions of the Zagros Mountains, \u003cem\u003eGabbeh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003enomadic pieces \u003cspan\u003erepresent an ancient culture \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003einspired by the traditions and the landscapes of Western Iran.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThese oriental beauties are coarsely knotted, brightly colored, have a thick pile, and no fringes.

Thus, a Nain's overall quality is directly related to its warp structure.

Using highly developed dying techniques (which Ziegler futilely attempted to copyright) and the best artisans from the region, Ziegler created rugs with bold, all-over patterns and with softer palettes than the more vibrant Persian counterparts.  Ziegler rugs developed an almost immediate following, especially among new Western industrialists; early collectors included the Guinness family, the owners of the stout-beer brewery, who laid them in Elveden Hall, their estate in Suffolk, England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word “Chobi” means something that has color like \"wood\" (in Farsi (the language in Iran and Afghanistan) “Chob” means “Wood”).

With respect to structure, however, Nain works have managed to establish their own category. They are subdivided based on the number of \u003cem\u003eLa\u003c\/em\u003e, their warps have. \u003cem\u003eLa\u003c\/em\u003e in Persian\/Farsi (the language of Persia\/Iran) means layer. In this context, \u003cem\u003eLa\u003c\/em\u003e refers to the number of threads that have been used in every warp of the carpet. This means a Nain with a lower number of \u003cem\u003eLa\u003c\/em\u003e would have a higher knot-density, a higher knot-count and respectively a finer quality. Thus, a Nain's overall quality is directly related to its warp structure. As such, Nain masterpieces are further subdivided into 3 main categories; \u003cem\u003e4 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains, \u003cem\u003e6 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains, and \u003cem\u003e9 La\u003c\/em\u003e Nains. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNain became a household name in carpet production by the mid 1920s; super fine pieces were created due to the high quality of the workshops in the area. Specifically, Fat'hollah Habibian (1903-1995), ran the biggest, and the most famous workshop in the city. Widely regarded as \"The Father of The Nain Carpet,\" Master Fat'hollah began knotting high-end masterpieces with his brother Master Mohammed since their school days.

the true Lilian design has a spidery central medallion which American Saroughs do not.  American Saroughs use either rich rosy reds with blues and paler rose outlining the motifs, or, less frequently, bright pastel shades (usually pale blues, turquoise or lemon yellow), used to create the same strong contrasts between motifs and field as in American Kermans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn all Saroughs the border is simple, almost always consisting of two guards framing a wider central band, which is often decorated with \u003cem\u003eheratis\u003c\/em\u003e while the former is often of traditional rosettes and wavy line collections.  The color scheme is often a bright orange-red in the field, which is softened by ivory, dark blue, red-brown and dull green.  Various shades of turquoise are common in the decorative motifs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM TO HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaroughs generally have a sound resale value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSarough\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp;
