They consist of a total of seven tribes. The most important tribe of the \u003cb\u003eGhashghai\u003c\/b\u003e, at least with respect to rug production, is the \u003cb\u003eKashghuli\u003c\/b\u003e (also Kashguli, Qashguli). Old and antique rugs of the \u003cb\u003eGhashghai\u003c\/b\u003e are sought-after collector's items today. Ghashghai rugs are known as King among Persian nomadic rugs.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nMost Ghashgai rugs are decorated with the so-called geometric \u003cb\u003eHeibathlou design\u003c\/b\u003e, a diamond-shaped central field with a rather plain medallion repeated in the corners. The inner field is filled with an unusually large number of ornaments. The motifs range from stars, lions, camels, trees and flowers, to boteh or paisley symbols. The motifs are partly stylized and partly realistic. The repeating motifs are never completely identical. They differ considerably in color scheme. The arrangement of symbols is rarely symmetrical. The longitudinal symmetry is often disregarded. Individual elements in the borders also vary in color. Small rows of boxes at the ends of the rugs are typical. The variance in the design is due to the fact that the Ghashgai \u003cb\u003e had no knotting patterns\u003c\/b\u003e and all rugs were knotted from memory and covered in interesting motifs.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e\nNowadays, most of the \u003cb\u003e Ghashghai\u003c\/b\u003e are settled. Because they are now mainly settled-down, the Ghashghai can also produce large-sized rugs. The few clans still living as nomads move up to the summer pastures in the Zagros Mountains twice a year. In autumn, they return to the regions with milder winter in the valley. The \u003cb\u003eGhashghai\u003c\/b\u003e have the reputation of being very proud, hard-working and honorable. Even though the Ghashghai appear less wild and warlike today, they still have an influence on the Iranian domestic politics that should not be underestimated. \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 \u003cb\u003eembellished edging (border)\u003c\/b\u003e forms a beautiful contrast to the center and creates a transition at the edge of the rug.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e In the middle of the central field of this Ghashgai is the symmetrical center, also called \u003cb\u003emedallion\u003c\/b\u003e. The design of the field is arranged in such a way that it gives the impression that the medallion is floating on the field.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003e The \u003cb\u003e abstract, geometric composition\u003c\/b\u003e creates the simple elegance of this Ghashgai. The pattern flatters the design of the room and does not take the attention away from its furniture, decoration and architectural elements.  It creates a pleasant atmosphere without dominating the style of the room.\n\u003cbr\/\u003e\u003cbr\/\u003eThe colors dark brown and dark blue dominate the overall impression.

The wool is dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e. 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. Wool dyed with \u003cb\u003enatural colors\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003e spun by hand\u003c\/b\u003e creates fascinating, iridescent patterns. The charm of hand-spun wool with its slight irregularities and natural hues unfolds as a contrasting element in modern interiors, but also in rooms that are furnished in a more traditional or country house style. The backing (weft and warp threads) of this Ghashgai is made of \u003cb\u003evirgin wool\u003c\/b\u003e.\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":32255868665949,"sku":"19321","price":1190.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/19321_gesamt.jpg?v=1586925511","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/ghasghai-teppich-204-x-139-19321","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
