Persian Rugs – A Weaving History
Carpet and rug weaving in Iran (Persia) dates back to 3500 years within the bronze age, consistent with some experts. The oldest evidences of this art date back to the third to fifth centuries AD discovered in Japanese Turkestan, and hand-weavings of the Seljuks of Asia Minor. Carpets from Safavid dynasty (1501-1736) in the 16th century are also a number of the earliest product in the history of carpet-weaving.
Although weaving of Persian rugs is predominantly mechanized currently, the most popular and expensive ones are still hand woven in many parts of Iran, like Baluch Rugs, Shiraz Rugs, and Wiss Rugs etc still reflecting the made art and culture of ancient Persia. The Carpet Museum of Iran in Tehran homes a number of the simplest works in the history of Persian rug weaving.
The motifs in Persian rugs commonly contains scrolling vine networks, arabesques, palmettes, cloud bands, medallions, and overlapping geometric compartments, with silk, wool and cotton as foundations. The designs are principally intricate bearing very little resemblance to one another however unique to the particular type. However, there are some universal designs of weaving, pattern and style commonly used.
Single and double tied rugs differentiate Anatolian or Turkish and Persian rugs. Anatolian carpets are double tied – which means that that for every vertical strand of thread within the rug, it’s 2 knots. The Persian rug is single tied thus it has solely one knot. This permits finer image to appear on the final product as a result of only the minimum quantity of house is given for each vertical strand. This technique has largely contributed to the Persian rug’s exquisiteness and popularity.
Persian city rugs like Isfahan, Nain, Qum, Tabriz, Mashad, Kerman, Kashan etc are created with intricate designs of buds and blossoms supported by vines and tendril, and bordered by arabesques that interlace making a well-balanced tone. Solid color filed central medallions and triangular corners are commonly used in design. Central motif or medallion might also get replaced by an all-over style of repetitive floral icons. Blues, reds, browns, and greens also are predominant to form a lavish whole. Ground colors of border and field usually contrast without disrupting the harmony. The curvilinear pattern is achieved by increasing the intensity of knots, usually a 200-three hundred KPSI (knots per sq. in.), making a visually curved line.
Persian Tribal rugs are sometimes made with natural raw materials like dye, and principally hand-woven. They generally have eighty-a hundred KPSI, and styles are largely geometric which are easier to realize with wider spaced knots. Ancient dense floral patterns with vases, foliage, palmettes, and garden parts, little animals or plants etc are commonly employed in design. These rugs are woven by the tribes in Iranian villages like Wiss, close to Hamedan; Shiraz, Central Iran; Baluch tribe in southern Iran etc. There are tribal weavers of Caucasian and Turkoman origins. Some of the Persian tribal rugs are quite exception with weaving methodology following ancient Persian tradition, dating back to thousands of years.
