Alongside Tabriz, Nain, and Qom, Isfahan is another city in Iran that is well-known for the production of silk-on-silk artworks with a knot density of more than 600,000 knots per square meter.

Those older items tend to employ a richer palette and more varied designs. On the other hand, in contemporary items the palette is more pastel and technical perfection is generally of greater importance than artistic flair. As such contemporary Isfahans are extremely attractive, and the subduing of the palette, particularly the elimination of strong reds, makes them more compatible with Western decorative schemes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhat makes Isfahan-made carpets a lot more expensive than their oriental counterparts is not just their designs or colours, but also the silk culture that evolves around them.

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.

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\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","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":225389634,"sku":"15522","price":799.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_2095_badbb0b3-0285-4c24-9ae9-6a38995d432f.jpg?v=1735425480"},{"product_id":"14645-turkeman-sumac-bag-39x27","title":"14645 - Turkoman Persian Hand-weaved Antique Authentic\/Traditional Nomadic\/Tribal Sumac-bag\/ Size: 3'9\" x 2'7\"\/114cm x 79cm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ca class=\"podcast-video\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/jHWNohqxsiw?si=DC7H307t1iz3y8kf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Turkoman podcast\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/files\/Turkoman.jpg?v=1755692409\" style=\"float: right;\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eNR:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e14645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLocation:\u003c\/b\u003e Turkoman \u003cspan\u003e  Antique circa 1920-1930\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e3'9\" x 2'7\"\/114cm x 79cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Iran\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePile:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eWool\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCotton \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTurkoman carpets, as the name suggest, are produced in areas that is occupied by the Turkoman people; a landmass that is stretched from Turkmenistan\/Iran border, all the way to Tajikistan\/Afghanistan border.

Much of the Caucasus belonged to Iran, which was administered from Tabriz.  There are remains of mosques from the 15th century, but perhaps the most important landmarks are the bazaars, for trade has always been of great importance in Tabriz. Indeed its geographical position meant that for a long time goods exported from Iran to Europe went via Tabriz, and the revival of the carpet industry in the 19th century is due largely to Tabriz merchants making carpets for export to Europe.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTabriz carpets come almost exclusively from the city itself and the majority are woven in production centers where there are quite a large number of looms.  Relatively few Tabriz are made in private households.  The loom is vertical, often with metal roller beams.  The Turkish knot is always used.  The warp is of very strong cotton with a double weft.  The pile is of wool, which usually comes from the Maku region (on the border of Turkey).  This wool is very strong but rather coarse, with the result that the pile, particularly in medium quality carpets, is uneven and rough.  High quality Tabriz utilizes silk and wool and some rare Tabriz are 100% silk.  The decoration is floral, often with a central medallion.  The motifs – flowering branches, shrubs and leaves – are large.  In addition to these classic themes, plant and animal motifs also appear.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecimens decorated with the popular\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eHerati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding) motifs are far less common.

Like Mashad on the eastern side of Iran, its apparent remoteness belies the fact that when the country was larger it had an important role.  Indeed, before World War I, it was Iran’s largest city. Much of the Caucasus belonged to Iran, which was administered from Tabriz.  There are remains of mosques from the 15th century, but perhaps the most important landmarks are the bazaars, for trade has always been of great importance in Tabriz. Indeed, its geographical position meant that for a long time goods exported from Iran to Europe went via Tabriz, and the revival of the carpet industry in the 19th century is due largely to Tabriz merchants making carpets for export to Europe.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #000000; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; arial\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;sans-serif\u0026amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #000000; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; arial\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;sans-serif\u0026amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;\"\u003eTabriz carpets come almost exclusively from the city itself and the majority are woven in production centers where there are quite a large number of looms.  Relatively few Tabriz are made in private households.  The loom is vertical, often with metal roller beams.  The Turkish knot is always used.  The warp is of very strong cotton with a double weft.  The pile is of wool, which usually comes from the Maku region (on the border of Turkey).  This wool is very strong but rather coarse, with the result that the pile, particularly in medium quality carpets, is uneven and rough.  High quality Tabriz utilizes silk and wool and some rare Tabriz are 100% silk.  The decoration is floral, often with a central medallion.  The motifs – flowering branches, shrubs and leaves – are large.  In addition to these classic themes, plant and animal motifs also appear.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display: inline !important; float: none; background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #000000; font-family: \u0026amp;quot; arial\u0026amp;quot;,\u0026amp;quot;sans-serif\u0026amp;quot;; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;\"\u003eSpecimens decorated with the popular \u003cem style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003eHerati\u003c\/em\u003e (diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding) motifs are far less common.

story carpets - which are almost always in silk.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual background colors for Kashan carpets are rich red and dark blue.  Very often the carpets with a dark blue background have medallion and border in red, and vice versa.  Ivory, yellow, ochre, burnt orange and occasionally green are also employed in Kashans.  A recent kind of Kashan, the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003epange-rangh\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(five colours) is, as its name implies, knotted entirely in wools dyed in five colours.  The background is generally ivory and the other colours are various shades of beige, gray and light blue.  The pange-rangh also has a new decoration, which consists of a geometric interpretation of the classic motifs of this area.  With their soft bluish grays, these pange-rangh Kashans were specifically designed for the Western market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrice Range and Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMEDIUM\/HIGH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA good quality Kashan, whether wool or silk, is generally considered a very sound investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor any further questions please call us at: (250) 480-7114\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eArticles \u0026amp; Videos\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kashan\"\u003eWikipedia Entry (Article) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jqLDV-an8qs\"\u003eProvincial Landscapes \u0026amp; Nature (Video) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mpoYWMkA7_I\"\u003eProduction (Video)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nUsUcfYnE7Q\"\u003eCarpet Weaving (Vi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Babak's Oriental Carpets","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32370566561866,"sku":"22245","price":499.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0160\/3364\/products\/IMG_2103_2e98819d-fb56-44a1-bfe0-7d7128b3677d.jpg?v=1735422174"},{"product_id":"22289-chobi-ziegler-hand-knotted-handmade-afghan-rug-carpet-modern-authentic","title":"22289 -

The variety and quality of the colors are superior and the numbers of Turkish knots are about 100.  The knotting on the better items can be extremely fine by nomadic standards, with 200 or more knots per square inch.  Ghashgais are often confused with Shiraz carpets, which are made in and around the town of Shiraz using Ghashgai designs.

from generation to generation and linked to tradition, but instead they are copied from carpets from other regions of Iran.  The most common motif found in Abadeh work is the classic

knotted on a vertical loom using warp and weft in cotton.  The weft consists of two or sometimes three threads.  In carpets made before 1915, the weft is pushed down hard against the knots, which made the carpets especially compact.  The pile is of very good quality wool and is cut short.  However, more recent pieces seem to have deeper piles.  The Persian knot is used with a density of 160 to 400 knots per square inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaroughs may be divided into two categories: carpets with traditional designs and those intended for export, particularly to the United States.  The traditional designs consist, for the most part, of the central medallion pattern.  The pattern is similar to those used in Kashans, but the different interpretations by different craftsmen give the carpets a special imprint.  Although they have floral patterns, this is executed in an angular fashion, resulting in an incomparable fusion of floral and geometric styles.  Old and antique Saroughs employ a central medallion as well as frequent use of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eboteh\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003emotif, which is a stylized leaf-like floral symbol, similar to the Paisley pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, the American Sarough (or Lilian) design features large blossoming floral sprays radiating outwards from a central, medallion-like, floral form.  It is so named because it was adapted for the American market from a design originating in the village of Lilian; 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\u003eIn all Saroughs the border is simple, almost always consisting of two guards framing a wider

and is of very high quality.  Kashans are among the finest carpets produced today, but the standard of individual items varies rather more than it does with Isfahans and it is important to assess each item on its own merits.   They may be woven on either cotton or silk foundations, with between 200 to 400 Persian knots per square inch (pure silk items may have 600 or more). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reputation of carpets made in the central Persian city of Kashan was so high that, according to Persian folklore, it was considered a compliment to say that a person came from Kashan, for this implied that they possessed quality and style.  After the Court period which culminated with the reign of Shah Abbas, carpet making in Kashan was interrupted for more than two centuries between the Afghan invasion in 1722 and the end of the nineteenth century.  It was only during the last quarter of the nineteenth century that some textile mill owners, finding themselves in difficulties because of competition with imported textiles, decided to try launching the carpet-making trade again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first examples woven after this renewed beginning of trade are noticeable for the magnificent quality of the wool, which makes the carpets extremely velvety.  It would appear that these examples were made with wool imported from Australia and which was used for making very highly priced materials.  These carpets are known as Kashan Motashemi, probably from the name of one of the first craftsmen.  In a few years, because of the very high quality of the wool, the very fine weaving and the beautiful colours and designs, Kashans came to be classified among the finest of the Persian carpets.  Contemporary production has also kept up a high level and has maintained the world prestige of these carpets. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKashans are easily recognizable by their design.  The field is almost always decorated by a central medallion, which terminates at the upper and lower ends in flowering coronets.  The rest of the field is closely decorated with flowers and vine tendrils.  In the four quarters a richly decorated band outlines a motif, which recalls the designs and colours of the central medallion.  Kashans without a medallion are much rarer.  These have a floral design accompanied by a decoration including animals such as the giraffe and peacock.  The border is made up of two or four guards flanking the central one, which is always decorated with a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eborder motif (a diamond-shaped band with floral heads both inside and surrounding), while the guards have the usual decoration of rosettes and a garland.  Another common type of Kashan is that with figural decoration - story carpets - which are almost always in silk.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual background colors for Kashan carpets are rich red and dark blue.  Very often the carpets with a dark blue background have medallion and border in red, and vice versa.  Ivory, yellow, ochre, burnt orange and occasionally green are also employed in Kashans.  A recent kind of Kashan,

colours.  The background is generally ivory and the other colours are various shades of beige, gray and light blue.  The pange-rangh also has a new decoration, which consists of a geometric interpretation of the classic motifs of this area.  With their soft bluish grays, these pange-rangh Kashans were specifically designed for the Western

Sennehs differ substantially from other Kurdistan carpets.  Kurdish carpets have a wool weft with deep, irregularly cut pile and primitive designs.  It would seem that the very fine work at Senneh came into being when Nadir Shah named Senneh the capital of Kurdistan and sent his Persian dignitaries there.  These Persian dignitaries did not think much of the local carpets and therefore ordered the craftsmen of Senneh to make carpets that were significantly finer and used cotton warps.  Over the centuries, this fine carpet making tradition was maintained and

rarely, wool.  Thin wool threads and thick cotton ones form the weft; usually as many as five threads, four loose wool ones and a taut cotton one in the center.  This is the chief characteristic of Bidjars.  The warp threads are beaten in with two kinds of tools: the usual comb beater, and a special one, which resembles an enormous iron claw.  The craftsmen insert the claw between the warp threads and beat in the weft threads many times over.  This special technique makes Bidjars the most compact and heavy of the Persian carpets, giving them the title of “iron rugs of Persia.” The close-cut pile is of high quality, lustrous wool knotted together using a Turkish knot with densities of between 100 to 210 knots per square inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp

decorated with floral motifs in a formal interpretation, which betrays their primitive and semi-nomadic style.  The result is a less sophisticated version of the classic Persian specimens such as Kashans, but decidedly more restrained and attractive.  There is often a medallion in the center, while the rest of the field is decorated either with floral designs or with the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e motif reproduced in a small size and repeated to cover the whole background (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eherati \u003c\/em\u003emotifs are diamond-shaped geometric forms with floral heads both inside and surrounding).  Other examples have only a central medallion standing out against a self-colored field.  In these Bidjars the four quarters have a floral ornamentation.  Bidjar borders are often composed of five bands, four narrow and one central wide one.  The main band is often decorated with border \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eboteh\u003c\/em\u003e (stylized leaf-like floral symbols that often appear similar to a Paisley pattern), while the guards contain a succession of rosettes alternating with more stylized floral motifs.  Another common border is made up of two very narrow guards and a central one, which, although wider than the guards, is small in relation to the carpet.  In this type of border, a rich floral decoration is often added to the border \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eherati\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBidjars are
