weaving the carpets


weaving the carpets

1 -Differences in the technique of weaving:
The most conspicuous peculiarity of the weaving technique of tribal – rural carpets is coarseness of such tapestries. The reason being that often in such carpets, wool or cotton wrap with high strands (folds) is used and this is considered as one of the outstanding characteristics of such tapestries. From the simplicity of the weaving technique one can consider the type of weft of such carpets. The point is that often in tribal-rural rugs and carpets a thick weft is used therefore, such carpets are categorized as “ Takht – Baf” “bed-spread”.
Unlike tribal-rural weavers, the civic carpet-weavers use more delicate wrap and wefts and produce more fine-woven carpets. This discrepancy of technique leads to production of more consu
mer carpets by villagers and more fine-woven ones by civic weavers.
2 -Differences of type of design:
Designs mostly appreciated by villagers and with a broader level of application are those with broken branch and coarse designed carpet the reason being their lesser complexity and simplicity of their weaving. For this reason tribal-rural carpets represent more original designs than civic carpets and they are woven using a lesser number of colors usually obtained from vegetal dyes. These weavers create masterpieces comparable to paintings of European abstract painters

Bokhara By Rug Sense Store





Most famous Turkman carpet, The "Bokhara" design is derived from many older stylized designs known as Tekke, Tekke Main and sometimes Yomud (Yomut) rugs. Some experts state there actually is no such thing as a "Bokhara" rug, but they have been labeled as such in attribution to the area in which they were most highly exchanged in. "Bokhara" however, is a solid search term for those of whom wish to find more commercially available rugs at a lower price point. Like many older oriental rug Designs, the Bokhara design was often interpreted by many different weaving countries. The Bokhara design a traditional repetitive pattern using a design element known as a "gul". The gul design is actually a stylized flower. Guls often vary in shape and design from rug to rug, but in any given individual weaving, the guls are arranged in uniform rows and columns in the field. Generally speaking, the guls may come in many forms. Most often, they are slightly oblong, shapely yet geometric. The Bokhara design is also sometimes refered to as the "elephant footprint" because of the general shape of such design element. bokhara rugs are almost always wool pile on either a wool or cotton foundation however this depends highly on country of origin. Bokhara design rugs are usually woven with very few "top" colors in each rug. It's unusual to find a Bokhara rug containing more than 6 different colors. Colors are traditionally bold, including red, ivory, rust and black. Because of popularity in many weaving countries, particularly pakistan, Bokharas are found in a rainbow of shades despite the traditional, bold past colors. These newer renditions still have few individual top colors.
