Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare. This old Re-import Sarough is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatterns\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e The luxuriant \u003cb\u003eflower motifs\u003c\/b\u003e of this Re-import Sarough are elegant and varied.

Virgin wool is obtained through the gentle shearing of sheep. Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties; due to the wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on living climate and muffles sound. The weft and warp threads of this Re-import Sarough are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root as dye per kilogram of wool.

In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it; high-quality wool retains its natural fat content when dyed with natural dyes. \u003cb\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/b\u003e create fascinating, iridescent patterns.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making regions in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern consisting of Paisley motifs are also favorably produced. Characteristic of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the lower weave ( warp and weft ) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often seen. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.

The tradition was promoted by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844, he had the court knotting workshops moved from Cairo back to Hereke. Hand-knotted \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted with a density of up to 6 million knots per square meter. Thanks to the knotting technique, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as on the front. Antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices in renowned art auction houses.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs of the \u003cb\u003eHereke rugs\u003c\/b\u003e include flowers, twigs and leaves, as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called \u003cb\u003eMehrab or Mihrab pattern\u003c\/b\u003e, a prayer niche depicted together with oil lamps. Besides traditional motifs and typical Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today knotted with more modern patterns to suit contemporary tastes.

The paradise garden motif is typical of the \u003cb\u003esafawidian era\u003c\/b\u003e. Paradise Garden rugs are embellished with a stylized, geometric representation of a \u003cb\u003etraditional Persian garden\u003c\/b\u003e with delicate plants and trees. The Greek word \"paradeisos\" comes from the Middle Persian word \"pardēs\". Originally the term referred to Persian royal gardens and only in the biblical context did it acquire the connotation of the garden of God.

Since individual silk threads are extremely long, the result is very thin yarns, which are nevertheless tear-resistant under low stress. Smaller rug knots can be made with this thin yarn, which create finer patterns. Therefore, the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted made of pure silk. In this Hereke even the background is made of \u003cb\u003epure silk\u003c\/b\u003e.

An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in the year \u003cb\u003e 1903\u003c\/b\u003e sparked interest in Chinese rugs among the Western world.

The refined arrangement of decorative elements is particularly striking in the overall design. The proportions are spacious and appear modern due to the spaced-out arrangement. Typical motifs are dragons, vases, peonies on abstract leaves and tendrils. The motifs are often found in central or corner medallions. At the edges there are often geometrical representations, especially swastikas, which are interwoven. The motifs are similar to those on \u003cb\u003eChinese porcelain\u003c\/b\u003e, made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root as dye per kilogram of wool. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of dye per kilogram of wool. Spinning wool is also time-consuming and labour-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it; high-quality wool retains its natural fat content when dyed with natural dyes. \u003cb\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/b\u003e create fascinating, iridescent patterns.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran.

Dyeing with \u003cb\u003enatural or plant-based dyes\u003c\/b\u003e is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root as dye per kilogram of wool. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of dye per kilogram of wool. Spinning wool is also time-consuming and labour-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it; high-quality wool retains its natural fat content when dyed with natural dyes. \u003cb\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/b\u003e create fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural shades unfolds in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style but also as a contrasting element in modern interiors. The weft and warp threads of this Re-import Sarough are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e.

Since individual silk threads are extremely long, the result is very thin yarns, which are nevertheless tear-resistant under low stress. Smaller rug knots can be made with this thin yarn, which create finer patterns. Therefore, the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted made of pure silk. In this Hereke even the background is made of \u003cb\u003epure silk\u003c\/b\u003e. Due to the thin but durable material of the weft and warp threads, a particularly fine knotting and, therefore, a particularly fine pattern is feasible.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254699241565,"sku":"18838","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/18838_gesamt_eb49c078-34e6-4a5c-907d-f00e9c23fb9a.jpg?v=1586906846"},{"product_id":"antiker-us-import-china-teppich-141-x-67-18840","title":"Antique US import China carpet | 141cm x 67cm | No. 18840","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric Antiker US Import Chinese Rug, yellow beige with Medaillon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e141 cm x 67 cm (= 0.94 qm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlor: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026 Warp: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnots\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e90.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePile height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1920\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eyellow beige, dark red\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eSingle piece\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIt is likely that rugs were known very early on in \u003cb\u003eChina\u003c\/b\u003e. The invasion of the Mongols around the year \u003cb\u003e1279\u003c\/b\u003e, who not only carried Central Asian rugs with them, but also used them as tents and saddlery, boosted local production in China, which probably already existed at that time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in the year \u003cb\u003e 1903\u003c\/b\u003e sparked interest in Chinese rugs among the Western world. Soon afterwards, rugs were produced in China solely for export to Europe and North America. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered a special kind. The colors and patterns of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are more minimalistic than traditional Chinese rugs and have been adapted to the US-American style of furnishing of that time. Only a few pieces from the USA reached Europe. Therefore the so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are very rare in Europe.

The refined arrangement of decorative elements is particularly striking in the overall design. The proportions are spacious and appear modern due to the spaced-out arrangement. Typical motifs are dragons, vases, peonies on abstract leaves and tendrils. The motifs are often found in central or corner medallions. At the edges there are often geometrical representations, especially swastikas, which are interwoven. The motifs are similar to those on \u003cb\u003eChinese porcelain\u003c\/b\u003e, made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Minimal technical variations in the production of classical Chinese rugs is a sign of \u003cb\u003estrict tradition\u003c\/b\u003e, which follows established rules.

Virgin wool is a sustainable, natural raw material with a number of impressive properties: Due to wool's natural fat content, the surface repels water droplets and is thus naturally impervious to dirt. Wool also offers excellent thermal insulation, has a regulating effect on the indoor climate and muffles sound.

The tradition was promoted by the art-loving Sultan Abd-ul-Medjid (reigned 1839 - 1861). In 1844, he had the court knotting workshops moved from Cairo back to Hereke. Hand-knotted \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted with a density of up to 6 million knots per square meter.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of dye per kilogram of wool. Spinning wool is also time-consuming and labour-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to spin wool by hand.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it; high-quality wool retains its natural fat content when dyed with natural dyes. \u003cb\u003eNatural dyes\u003c\/b\u003e create fascinating, iridescent patterns.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

The city of Nain is located to the northwest of Isfahan and has an old weaving tradition. Prior to the Qajar dynasty (1794 - 1925), the highest quality robes for noblemen, so-called Abas, were made there. Under the influence of the western culture, the traditional robe as clothing was replaced by suits. The weavers transformed their business and began to knot rugs. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nToday's Nain rugs owe their unmistakable patterns and color combinations especially to Master Hadj Fatollah Habibian Naiini. He limited himself to less than ten colors in knotting and thus laid the foundation for the color composition of Nain rugs, that are still very popular today. The \u003cb\u003e basic colors \u003c\/b\u003e are mostly white or beige and blue up to this day, although Nain rugs in the colors red, green and yellow are also becoming more and more common. Floral patterns, whose contours are accented with silk, are typical. Due to their simple elegance, Nain rugs also suit modern interiors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nWhat differentiates Nain rugs are the four \u003cb\u003e quality levels\u003c\/b\u003e, indicated by Lah ( Persian for layer). Lah describes the number of threads the warp is twined from. As the number of threads used increases, the warp and thus the knots become thicker and the density of the knots decreases.

Fine patterns, sinuous lines and soft color gradations are characteristic of Kerman rugs. The classic patterns of the 19th century are often figurative.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254781390941,"sku":"17533","price":920.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/17533_gesamt_5fd93a2a-e947-40f5-9011-12455fbbec1c.jpg?v=1586908677"},{"product_id":"alter-hereke-aus-reiner-seide-teppich-93-x-61-18837","title":"Old Hereke made of pure silk | 93cm x 61cm | No. 18837","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFloral Alter Hereke made of pure silk, golden beige with border\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTürkei\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e93 cm x 61 cm (= 0.57 qm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlor: pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026 Warp: pure silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnots\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e1.000.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePile height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e2mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1960\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003egolden beige, rusty red\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eSingle piece\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVery valuable silk rugs originate from the Turkish city of \u003cb\u003eHereke\u003c\/b\u003e.

Hand-knotted \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are among the finest rugs in the world and are knotted with a density of up to 6 million knots per square meter.

With time, however, a unique style has emerged from this. The silk rugs from Ghom are among the most famous and highest quality rugs in the world today. The panel of Ghom rugs often has a light background and is decorated with finely drawn medallion patterns or continuous boteh or vase patterns.

Since individual silk threads are extremely long, the result is very thin yarns, which are nevertheless tear-resistant under low stress. Smaller rug knots can be made with this thin yarn, which create finer patterns. Therefore, the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted made of pure silk.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making areas in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh patterns consisting of Paisley motifs are also produced with passion. Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran.

The invasion of the Mongols around the year \u003cb\u003e1279\u003c\/b\u003e, who not only carried Central Asian rugs with them, but also used them as tents and saddlery, boosted local production in China, which probably already existed at that time. An exhibition in Saint Louis in the USA in the year \u003cb\u003e 1903\u003c\/b\u003e sparked interest in Chinese rugs among the Western world.

The colors and patterns of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are more minimalistic than traditional Chinese rugs and have been adapted to the US-American style of furnishing of that time. Only a few pieces from the USA reached Europe. Therefore the so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Chinese rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are very rare in Europe.

At the edges there are often geometrical representations, especially swastikas, which are interwoven. The motifs are similar to those on \u003cb\u003eChinese porcelain\u003c\/b\u003e, made during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Dyeing with natural or vegetable dyes is more complicated, expensive and time-consuming than dyeing with chemical dyes. For a bright red, for example, you would need about one kilogram of ground madder root per kilogram of wool as dye. For a strong, not too pale yellow, you would need two kilograms of the dye madder per kilogram of wool. Also spinning wool is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, fewer and fewer people are able to hand spin wool.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nBut the effort is worth it: By dyeing with natural dyes, the high-quality wool retains its natural fat content.

Thanks to the knotting technique, the pattern is just as clearly visible on the back as on the front. Antique Turkish rugs fetch top prices in renowned art auction houses.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nTypical motifs of the \u003cb\u003eHereke rugs\u003c\/b\u003e include flowers, twigs and leaves, as well as birds, the tree of life and the so-called \u003cb\u003eMehrab or Mihrab pattern\u003c\/b\u003e, a prayer niche depicted together with oil lamps. Besides traditional motifs and typical Ottoman or Turkish patterns, Hereke silk rugs are today knotted with more modern patterns to suit contemporary tastes. The characteristic colors of \u003cb\u003eHereke silk rugs\u003c\/b\u003e are deep dark blue, bright red, vivid green, bright yellow and various natural tones in all nuances.  This old Hereke is \u003cb\u003e more than 40 years old\u003c\/b\u003e and a true collector's item. The pattern of this noble Hereke is accentuated through the use of \u003cb\u003e gold threads\u003c\/b\u003e. The gold threads create a shimmering, glossy contrast and let the colors shine in warm nuances, depending on lighting.

It makes this Hereke a real jewel and creates a cozy, yet very elegant and high-quality atmosphere in the room. Silk is extracted from the cocoons of the silk moth by hand. Since individual silk threads are extremely long, they allow for the production of very thin yarns that are nevertheless tear-resistant at low tension. Smaller rug knots can be knotted with the thin yarn, which makes it possible to create finer patterns. Therefore, the finest rugs in the world are hand-knotted made of pure silk.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nFurthermore, the pattern of this exquisite Hereke has been accented by the use of \u003cb\u003e gold threads\u003c\/b\u003e.

Typical for this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the backing (warp and weft) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often found. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nOld and antique Mahal and Malayer type rugs knotted in Sarough between 1880 and 1930 are particularly sought after by collectors. \n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nThe so-called \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e, which were knotted especially for the American market between 1900 and 1940, are considered special examples of the art of rug-making in Iran. The colors of the \u003cb\u003eAmerican Sarouks\u003c\/b\u003e are reduced to shades of rust, red, blue and some brown or beige, and they have a floral pattern that usually does not have a central medallion. In the 1970s these pieces became very popular in Iran as well, and were \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e there, hence the name. Only a few pieces reached Europe from Iran. That's why the pieces that were first \u003cb\u003ere-imported\u003c\/b\u003e to Iran are particularly rare.

Even today it is still influenced by the elegance and splendor of that era. The Kashan rugs are artistic textile products made according to ancient traditions.

The \"i\" in the name Afshari is the same as the preposition \"of\". Originally the Persian Afshars lived in the northwest of Iran, and close to the Afghan border. A part of the tribe was forced to move to the southeast of Iran, near the city of Kerman, which is along the Silk Road. Here, knotting rugs became an important source of income for the Afshars. Since their resettlement, Afshars are known for their unique hand-knotted Afshar rugs. Some Afshar rugs are also traded as Sirjan rugs. These rugs have red and blue tones and mostly geometric patterns. The most prevalent pattern has a field in the center with one or more square rosettes. It is generally speculated that the central field represents a stretched animal skin.

Sarough is one of the most famous rug-making regions in Iran. Situated in the western Persian province of Aarak, it includes the provinces of Arak, Jozan, Ghiasabad, Mahal, Malayer, Mohajeran, Sultanabad and Wiss. In Sarough, Persian patterns of all types are knotted, sometimes even according to the customer's specifications. The neighboring Farahan as well as the local Sultanabad designs and the so-called Mir-i-Boteh pattern consisting of Paisley motifs are also favorably produced. Characteristic of this type of rug is the very good wool quality of the pile, since the new wool comes from the Persian highlands. However, the lower weave ( warp and weft ) is usually made of cotton. In old and antique rugs, a blue weft thread is often seen. The knotting is very fine and the pile is relatively high.

Due to its climate and the caravans that passed through the country, it was, at least until the Safavids moved their seat of government to Isfahan, a flourishing metropolis known especially for its fabric and rug production. Even today it is still influenced by the elegance and splendor of that era. The Kashan rugs are artistic textile products made according to ancient traditions. The production in Kashan took place traditionally in the houses of the weavers. The pile is typically knotted from extremely soft wool and is, therefore, particularly dense and compact.

Originally the word referred to the \u003cb\u003e Persian royal gardens\u003c\/b\u003e and only in the biblical context did it acquire the connotation of the garden of God. These fertile and artistic royal gardens were home to \u003cb\u003e various exotic plants\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eanimals\u003c\/b\u003e. They are surrounded by a wall, symbolic of the \u003cb\u003e separation between heaven and earth\u003c\/b\u003e. Gardens of paradise are places of worship and \u003cb\u003e status symbols\u003c\/b\u003e. Traditional Persian gardens were \u003cb\u003e rectangular\u003c\/b\u003e, with a river or body of water running from north to south and from east to west, forming a cross that divides the garden into four sections. Covered pavilions or structures and elevated walkways to view the garden from above were common, as were fountains and waterfalls symbolising eternal life. In rugs with a paradise garden motif such as this one the representation of water, which is extremely precious in arid areas, plays a prominent role.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The background of this Kashan is light red.

This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32255114707037,"sku":"11075","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/11075_gesamt_6dd66b62-0643-4a7f-894b-ecca5ba3e1c9.jpg?v=1586912559"},{"product_id":"alter-gabbeh-teppich-326-x-222-17529","title":"Old Gabbeh \u003cbr \/\u003e 326 cm x 222 cm \u003cbr \/\u003e Nr. 17529","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGeometric Old Gabbeh, rusty red with border, Medaillon and motiv\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable height=\"88\" style=\"width: 375px;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePersien\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e326 cm x 222 cm (= 7.24 qm)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturing\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ehand knotted\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFlor: wool\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\/\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeft \u0026 Warp: cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnots\/m\u003csup\u003e2\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e120.000\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px; text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePile height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e8mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003e1960\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColoring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003erusty red\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003ctr style=\"height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 141px; height: 23px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"width: 250px; height: 23px;\"\u003eSingle piece\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003ePlace of origin\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eGabbeh rugs are knotted by nomads living in the province of Fars, near the city of Shiraz.

Today's modern Gabbeh is mostly plain with monochrome designs. Still even today you can find stylized patterns depicting the everyday life of the nomads, such as goats, camels, dogs, plants or people in the rugs.

The handspun wool gives the rugs a grainy but soft surface. Traditionally, Gabbeh rugs were used for sleeping.

During dyeing, natural dyes are absorbed differently. The rug appears more lively, due to the so-called color jumps (abrash), i.e. light-dark color shades.
