I must say you presented this artistry in a rather unique way, which made it very interesting without being tiring (with due respect for those who speak about all the aspects you referred to for endless hours). Thank you.
Fabulous! I would mention that the #1 most important thing to consider when buying a rug is: HOW DOES IT MAKE YOU FEEL? I love walking on mine; it's the next best thing to walking in Iran.
i agree. i have a very simple Gabbeh that is thick and doesn't have a lot of knots and i have a 100 knot PSI carpet from an inheritance . i walk on my gabbeh every day and love the way it looks and feels . the more expensive carpet i put in an area where i don't see it often because i don't like the way it makes me feel when walking on it .
It took me ages to distinguise between carpets , there ere so many things to consider , and so many nomadic ones, that is almost impossible to know all about it….
To be honest, other countries have caught up to the Persians. Rugs from China, India,Pakistan, Azerbaijan,Ubekistan and Afhanistan are equally impressive as well. The carpet weaving families in Iran have dwindled over the past 2 decades as new generations prefer to pursue other occupaction. Nevertheless, there are still a handful of families that countinues the tradition. A Bidjar rug for an example is built like a tank. Its the heaviest type and last for centuries. I fancy those from Nain, Ardabil,Tabriz and Hamadan regions
Can anyone watching this get me a real rug weaving loom? Hopefully with wool warp and not too to big, 3x5 or so. Please, And Thank you ..... if so, please message several times as youtube can be fussy but I will reply as soon as I see it.
Hello!,this is shaurya jaiswal from ashok exports bhadohi INDIA, vast variety of carpet manufacturer and producers since 1980's,searching for order's. Pls let us know for any upcoming orders in which you can prefer us. Thank you , regards
I somehow feel that female presenters give the real deal regarding carpets. With male rug merchants, it seems like they are always trying to take me for a ride.
I was given a large carpet that looks like those. Im sure it’s expensive and worth a lot since the couple that gave it to me were very very wealthy. How do i know its a authentic persian rug??
Hi, you can watch the video: All you need to know about persian carpets in youtube and send a message to the person and ask him where your carpetvis coming from and more information.
An adult carpet seller in a rich country waits for an orphan and poor child to work for fourteen hours. So that carpet sellers have a comfortable life. The whip of invisible poverty causes poor and orphaned children to weave carpets for fourteen hours. Factories produce carpets for children. Save poor children from torture by not using handmade carpets.
There must be a difference in to leaving a comment or spewing a venom in hatred , jealousy or for political reasons. I guarantee that you have not visited any carpet home and only spewing Hatred because you could be from iran hating area of saudi Arab or United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪.
The original Qom silk carpet is worth about four hundred to five hundred US dollars per square meter. Ninety percent of the value of Wool handmade carpets is forty to one hundred US dollars per square meter. Handmade carpets are produced by children from poor and orphaned families. Children twelve to fourteen hours in a workshop on violence and physical and sexual carpet production. Save children from being tortured by carpet weavers by not using handmade carpets. Always produce and consume the story of handmade carpets are losers are winning sellers. Never forget that more than 90% of the value of your handmade rug is lost before leaving the store.
Dear mohammad you mentioned the prices right and it's useful. But I'd like to mention that the handmade carpets are produced by art and love comes from the heart of people who knitting them. Nowadays carpets(city carpets) are being produced by professionals who work with support of business sectors and children are not involved in knitting city carpets. But sometimes children who are interested in learning and are curious about kniting rugs, help their families to knit carpets in home, not working for business mans who have workshop and employing people for work. On the other side about nomad rugs, I should say children in nomad life are working with their families from an early ages and this is the inevitable part of nomad life in all over the world. The point you should pay attention is children who helping their families are different from child labouring. Because they don't work for businesses, they help their families and are learning life skills, specially in nomad life. Cheers.
